G'day, our department just scored 11 decstation 5000/25's and they work
fine except for....
* They dont autoboot. They stop and ask a question before getting to
the rc.local 'enter password or return to go multiuser' or
something like that. How do I stop this and make them just boot?
* Also the Xserver dies sometimes. Running WindowMaker
off a remote host (linux, i386, redhat 5.2)
does it __everytime__, and some applications cause it to die (i
havnt started to list them all).
Its so cool that it works so easily. I love the netboot install!
Way to go! I am muchly impressed! :) If they end up being stable-ish
Xterms or whatever then its an great effort to reuse these boxen.
Now I just need to get my head around the package system and install
some shells with history completion ;) :)
(Gee I know why Dec went to alpha's though ;)
cheers,
cam
