OK, I tried that and it still will not read the disk in the drive, the light does not come on and it keeps saying I need to insert the CD in the drive. Now I have another problem - it appears something went wrong with either my floppy drive or my boot disk. When I press <enter> at the Boot: prompt now, I get the following message:
fd(60)unix ram.fd-254
unix not found
Everything stops right there. I have used the CD to create a new "install" floppy, but it says the same thing.
I have both a USB CD drive and a USB floppy drive. When I boot with the CD in the USB drive, it loads everything like it is going to install. I get all the way up to the part where it asks where my installation CD is, and no matter what option I try, the installation does not find or read my CD at that point.
I read online that SCO treats USB drives like SCSI drives, but I can't make out which one (during the setup process) is actually the USB CD drive. If I can figure that out, do you think the installation will be able to proceed past this? I don't remember how I ever got this installed 12 years ago.
I really appreciate your help - any ideas?

pthread_detach
pthread_detach(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_detach(3)
NAME
pthread_detach - Marks a thread object for deletion.
LIBRARY
DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_detach(
pthread_t thread);
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface
PARAMETERS
Thread object being marked for deletion.
DESCRIPTION
This routine marks the specified thread object to indicate that storage for the corresponding thread can be reclaimed when the thread ter-
minates. This includes storage for the thread argument's return value, as well as the thread object. If thread has not terminated when
this routine is called, this routine does not cause it to terminate.
When a thread object is no longer referenced, call this routine.
The results of this routine are unpredictable if the value of thread refers to a thread object that does not exist.
A thread can be created already detached by setting its thread object's detachstate attribute.
The pthread_join(3) routine also detaches the target thread after pthread_join(3) returns successfully.
RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:
Successful completion. The value specified by thread does not refer to a joinable thread. The value specified by thread cannot be found.
ERRORS
None
