    Replace OS Question...

    While what you say is true regarding most software (I've spent many a day cursing RedHat ;), SCO seems to be one that I've _never_ liked. I've used it off and on since 199[2|3]. The only good thing SCO ever did for me was lead me to Linux (I was so desperate to find a replacement, I was...

    Replace OS Question...

    Good idea to replace SCO. However, by moving to Windows, you've merely jumped from the fire into the frying pan (Windows being only somewhat better than SCO - and worse in many respects). If you have any Unix knowledge at all, you should consider Linux or one of the BSD variants: get all the...

    xsetroot / .Xdefaults

    I'd like to set the background color of the desktop from the .Xdefaults file or by using xsetroot from .xinitrc. However, I've tried both approaches to no avail. I've tried the following xsetroot -solid black xsetroot -grey xsetroot -bg black xsetroot -fg black without any effect. SCO...

    Installing SCSI dat tape

    If you are using an Adaptec host adapter, make sure that the drive is recognized at boot time by the adapter (Ctrl-A when prompted). If it isn't then you probably have termination issues. It's worth noting that the Adaptec 2940 adapter doesn't properly terminate the wide bus if there aren't...

    Ideas for why server would shutdown on its own...

    Is the server doing an actual shutdown or just restarting? Something to check may be if the server has hardware monitoring (e.g temperature) enabled, this can cause a system shutdown if the processor exceeds a certain temperature (or whatever is being monitored exceeds some threshold).

    Adding a second PCI SCSI controller

    I need to add a second PCI SCSI controller (DPT SmartCache III) to an existing SCO 5.0.6 system. It already has a configured Adaptec 160 installed (which also hosts the boot HDD). The reason I need the second controller is that there is an old tape drive (Viper 1/4") that we need attached...

    installation of SCSI tape drive (Archive Corporation)

    I encountered the exact problem. Ended up contacting SCO (who, interestingly enough, inform me this "is not a bug"????). I tried the above procedure to no avail. I ended up editing space.h by hand (and another file too, I don't remember which). Net result: I can now relink my kernel...
