Hi there,
Another newbie I'm afraid!
I have no experience of UNIX but I have to get a old 320 RS6000 box set up. So far I have it working (solved boot problems) and have managed to make a working scsi drive out of bits!
The machione is due to be used at the college for deliver a basic UNIX course as part of an HND, as such it needs to have mail and MAN commands operational.
I have set up users and MAIL works but the MAN command does not because the database is not there (catman -w won't work).
Yes I have checked the archives and thought I'd found the answer but I have found more problems as SMIT INSTALL_ALL doesn't work as 'there are no SMIT screen entries available for this fastpath'
It all seems to say that the UNIX box is missing data - could one of the drives not be working? Would this cause the problem? How do I check?
Nother problem....I haven't got the 4.1 install disk as the college has lost them! Buit I have got the 4.3 disks and licence. Would it be easier to just re-install? How do I install?
Everthing is so easy for a dimwit in Gates world ;-) I can normally only cope with mouse buttons.
Very grateful for any help.
Thank you.
