The purpose of this guide is to offer help in the configuration and
installation of DECstations running the ULTRIX operating system. It is
aimed at the novice system manager although those with more experience
may find it useful as a handy reference, in particular for the tailoring of
the system to the CERN environment. It is impossible in this kind of
document to cover all aspects of configuration and user requirements, however,
this guide will help you to get started and gives some hints on how you may
set up the system to suit your needs. Also included are details of the
various services offered by the central ULTRIX Remote Installation server
(dxsoft). There are
many areas not addressed in this version but the intention is that this be
a "living" document which will be extended and updated as required.
References are made to existing documentation where this is available.
A copy of the guide may be obtained via anonymous ftp from the central
Remote Installation Server (dxsoft) as follows:
#ftp dxsoft
#Name (dxsoft.xxxxx): anonymous
#Use your machine name as the password
#cd doc
#get ultrix.ps.Z
#quit
#uncompress ultrix.ps.Z
This file may then be printed on any postscript printer. Copies are also
available from the User Consultancy Office (UCO) in building 513.
