Figured I'd throw in my comments: ****** DISCLAIMER ****** I went to college with several people at SCO, notably ericg, amys, and brianm. This should not influence the following comment, as I spoke with none of them, just their normal tech support phone line. Other than specified above, my only association with SCO is as a very satisfied customer. ****** END DISCLAIMER ******* At work (not here), we were setting up SCO 2.2.1 on a nonstandard system (read -- not specified in the release notes as tested). We had problems with the system at boot up: Xenix would not boot directly from the HD, but would boot from hd(40)xenix if we booted from floopy first. SCO sat on the phone with me for 2 hours as I went through the procedure of re-fdisking and re-divvying and reinstalling. When this failed to produce successful results, the tech support person said he was at a loss, but suggested pulling any I/O cards I had installed. This worked. Their patience in working with us long distance and tech support's savvy in suggesting an I/O problems rate a 10 from me. Keep up the good work. -- Scott "The Pseudo-Hacker" Neugroschl UUCP: ...!ihnp4!csun!csuna!abcscnge -- "They also surf who stand on waves" -- Disclaimers? We don't need no stinking disclaimers!!!
