boot -f dksc(X,Y,8)sash64 dksc(X,Y,7)stand/fx.64 --x
Obvious...
Goes to GUI after that tho, well CUI anyway...
Solaris is easy, Stop-A, boot cdrom, AIX you have to enter IPL and boot from CD/DVD, easy from there, OSX, hold mouse while booting or press Alt, HP-UX no idea, OpenVMS, hmm, used to know it, cannae remember now...
VMS is the OS of choice, I'm bidding on an HP Integrity box now, Itanium, will run VMS 8.3....

Trying to install from within the existing OS? You clown.
Exactly. In any subject one would expect a basic level of knowledge. For example if someone was learning to drive one would expect the pupil to have the basic knowledge to open the car door and sit in the driving seat. If the pupil sits in the back seat asks where the are controls, they may as well give up at that point. Milan has failed the absolute basics.Last edited by Paddy; 9 October 2011, 15:15.

Your problem description was utter tulip because you did not state all the facts. Your six year old daughter could write a better description.

I think their plan B involves selling new PCs to mugs that have trashed their previously working kit.
