I am trying to install SCO OpenDesktop 1.0 and have two questions perhaps some can answer. 1. Trying to intall the ODT TCP-RT package generates a tar extract failure on 4 files from floppy 12. If I let it continue it moves on to floppy 13. Floppy 13 completes and it asks for the UB1 disk. Upon inserting this in the drive and pressing return the system responds "incorrect volume in drive". All stops at this point. Is the tar failure on disk 12 causing this problem? Selection of individual files and services from custom yields similar results to a full installation of the package. 2. I have installed the ODT development system 1.0.1 TCP package. However the library /usr/lib/libsocket.a is not useable. "nm" cannot read its symbol table and "file" reports it a "data file". I know the file is good since I have tried two different sets of installation disks. This seems like a perms problem. Thanks for any advice.

You should be prompted for the Open Desktop Dev. Sys. serial number and activation key. Enter these, and everything should be fine.

Floppy 13 completes I had problems on some no-name 386 and 486 systems when reading or writing diskettes. In fact, after retrying severel times, I got a kernel panic. In the meantime, I know it's a hardware failure and shows the incompatibilities of the PC. Regards Ralf. -- PEM Programmentwicklungsgesellschaft | Ralf U.
