HP-UX boxes - am I mad?
Greetings, and thanks for having such an interesting forum!
I currently have 3 Intel boxes running 2000, and two HP boxes running HP-UX 10.20. I am very inexperienced with the Unix/Linux world. I have several problems, mainly in getting them all networked together. I am constrained to keep a windows box as internet gateway, for easy access by non-geek family members, so I need to tie in all else with that. I'm assuming the need for Samba in there somewhere, but am in a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation. I've got the software burnt to cd, but the bigger HP box (9000 755/99, 352MB ram), which has the cdrom, reads all the software depots with an appended ;1 on each filename. The software install programs won't ignore this, and I need to know how to get the system to 'un-append' this tag. Then I can at least get started properly! Any help much appreciated - I've been trying to solve this intermittently for months. I did hear that it just might be because I burnt the cd via a windows/netware system...
