Hi!

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
now, what are reputable helper systems?
I tried KN02-BA 5.7e with SS10/linux redhat. root path did not work
at all to overcome "no pathname". Then I switched to a HP9000/400
HP-UX 9.1 Release 1995. i.e. that bootpd was from the late '80s
and I had to install bootpd from Carnegie Mellon to use rp!!
I did the same settings as on the sun and here it worked.
The sources changed for HP are on my ftp server
ftp://anna.anatomie.uni-freiburg.de/pub/hpux/bootp-dhcp-2.4.3-ss-9.X.tar.gz

Sincerely yours

Anton

P.S.
Wondered that the benchmarks of the 5000/120 are really better than
of the HP9000/400 ...
