[comp.soft-sys.andrew] AFS Release 3

tran@bungi.com (Tony Tran) (11/21/90)

Greetings,

 I just got the AFS source code from emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu, and have a
 couple of questions to ask for those who have succesfully setup AFS
 on the SUN systems:

  1. Do I have to have X11-4 in order to run AFS ? Will OpenWindow 2.0
     be OK ?
  2. I am running a 4/280 on a SUN 4.1. Is there any problem with 
     this configuration? (I've noticed section 1.2.8 of the README note
     mentioned that there were some reported problem with Sparc systems,
     but the note was written on Nov 1989 of last year)

 Please let me know as soon as possible, because I am anxious to get
 this installed on my system. Thanks.

 Tony

Clarification:  I believe that it was the Andrew source code that you
got from emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu, not the AFS source code (which is
available via Transarc Corp.).

Andrew (the ATK component, at least) runs under X11, either release 3 or
release 4.  It doesn't run under OpenWindow.

If you're trying to use SunOS 4.1, I believe that you should wait until
the next patch comes out.

Andrew runs fine under OpenWindows 2.0.  I'm running that way right now.
