DEC ULTRX-11 V3.1 Master Distribution Kit This directory contains the files needed to build a complete installation kit of version 3.1 of the ULTRIX-11 Unix system for the DEC PDP-11. Version 3.1 was also the final release; no more development was done after, as UEG shifted its focus to the new VAX systems. Ultrix effectively was ported to the VAX. and called Ultrix-32. Later releases were called either Ultrix/VAX or Ultrix/RISC, depending on which DEC platform it was for. This distribution contains files from both the V3.1 binary kit (dug up by Wilko Bulte), the V3.1 source kit from Steven Schultz, and some other tools and files grabbed from anywhere. The kit is basically a regeneratable V3.1 binary boot kit, with the official SRCKIT added to it (as tape file 35). The top-level "build" script does what it says.. it builds the tape so you can start it up and go to get some sleep :) To get the ball rolling, check the value of the TAPE variable at the top of the "build" script. It is set to what MY tape device (TK50 on TQK50 controller) under Ultrix-11 V3.1 is, so you may have to change it. Then, type ./build and watch things go. After about two hours of tape activity, you should be woken up by two BEEPs telling you that it is all done. Unload the tape and you're all set. Extreme thanks go to Wilko and Steven for digging up this stuff; to Bill Gunshannon, Ed "The Wanderer", Kees Stravers and Warren Toomey for their support while I was fighting hardware problems and debug weird software issues. Thanks guys!! If you run into problems, drop me a note! Have fun ! Fred N. van Kempen, March 5th, 2001
