Bill;
I started this thread by asking what I thought was a simple question
about Ultrix-11.? Yes, I am trying to install and learn about this
fascinating piece of old software.
Some of the folks who have posted know much more about Unix than I do
and I am learning and enjoying this.
I just tried using the f77 compiler to see how it works.? It is really
outdated and wouldn't recognize some accepted f77 items.? Even under
SIMH it is slow!? But the load libraries are there.
There is a plot command in there that will drive a Tek 4014 graphics
terminal.? Eager to find out how that works.
In the long run I would like to see if it can run on real pdp11 hardware
and support multiple terminals/users.? Just for fun!

I just installed Ultrix-11 3.1 using the
ultrix31.tap file from
https://pdp-11.org.ru/files.pl?lang=en
which is the location from the comments in Stephen's Machine Room
video on
YouTube that I think started this thread.
It installed just fine, but just like the video, I ran out of space
on /usr.
How can I make a larger /usr partition? Is it possible to do this at
installation time? There did not seem to be an option for this. Can
it be
done by using an additional disk? That would seem likely, but not what a
system manager back in the 70's or 80's would expect to need to do,
especially as there is a relatively large amount of space left to create
/user1.
I noted the options for installing software using soft links to other
locations. Was that the preferred method when installing additional
software?
That worked for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
