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.
Duh, my bad. The whole problem was that my CD drive was not working right. I replaced with a different one, and now installation is progressing. It is performing a Bad Track check - I assume automatic before installing - is there any way to skip or abort that? Based on time so far, it's going to take all day just for that. Let me know - Thanks!
Hey - I got the O/S installed and the NIC is working, the server is replying to ping. I now want to go to Microlite Corporation - Home of BackupEDGE 3.x and download my backup software so I can try to restore my tape backup. The test of internet connection is passed, but when I try to navigate to microlite I get a message about security algorythms not being assigned, or something. what is the minimum I need to do in order to be able to get to the download website?
Lots of web sites don't work with the SCO browser. It is too old.
You can use ftp from the console command line
Code:
ftp ftp.microlite.com
(user and password)
cd /demos/current/edgesco5
get either VOL.000.000 or edgesco5.elf
use user anonymous and password your email address.
If you are licensed for version 2, you can restore /usr/lib/edge from your tape to get a licensed version. It may be easier to restore this directory to a separate location first, and also restore /etc/edge*
Don't forget to update the schedule to get an entry in crontab
