We received our DECstation 5000/200 last week, with Ultrix 4.1. I did the
Basic Installation (for now, at least), and am manually loading subsets.
Has anyone else had trouble loading the Unsupported Subsets? I try to use
"setld" to do this (identically to loading the Supported ones), and all the
ones I try crap out with a message
sh5: usr/etc/subsets/[subset name].inv: cannot open
setld: System contains files which cannot be overwritten
It subsequently leaves a ".dw" file in the /usr/etc/subsets directory. Man
pages say this is a "subset corrupt" lock file.
My supposition would then be that my distribution TK50 was bad. But setld
cranks away at the tape for a while before spitting out the messages, and I
think it finds the subset on tape. Also, the error messages don't particularly
seem to mesh with the man pages description of the .dw file.
Any help/experience/pointers are greatly appreciated. I figured I'd try this
forum before calling DEC support and waiting on the phone up to 30 mins :-)
