<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi All,<br>
<br>
I got some questions recently about getting v7 working, so I fired
up OBS to create a video walkthrough of the install process and
first steps (it's basically following my v7 note, but hey some
folks dig video). The video is totally amateur hour, but it was
fun. I never get tired of logging in as dmr, writing hello.c,
running cc, running hello and watch the magic of<br>
<br>
hello, world<br>
<br>
appear on "screen".<br>
<br>
As a reminder - the note (and thus, the video) walks the user
through installing OpenSIMH (including pdp11), building a tape
image, installing to disk from tape, booting off the disk,
building and using a DZ-11 as a telnet listener on 16 lines,
adding a user, running learn, and piddly stuff like setting baud,
delays, and such. Not a lot of hand-holding, but some.<br>
<br>
When I get around to it, I'll probably update the note to add
additional test environments (I'm pretty sure it works anywhere
OpenSIMH does, but some folks like to see there system or one
kinda like it in the list of tested systems). I'm running LMDE5
and Debian 12 Bookworm these days, so I know they work there in
addition to pretty much any Linux Mint, MX Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS,
etc.<br>
<br>
I'm still in awe of Hayle and Ritchie's Setting Up Unix - Seventh
Edition as the basis of my note - 44 y.o. and counting... for
holding up so well.<br>
