My problem: Installing DU V4.0D in RIS failed with pax-error: "No such
file or directory"
Serverhost: hostname => server
sizer -c => DEC2100_A50
uname -a => OSF1 server.dom.uni-stuttgart.de V4.0 878 alpha
Clienthost: hostname => ivdaxx
sizer -c => DECST30 (DPW 433au)
uname -a => OSF1 ivdaxx V4.0 878 alpha
What i did: 1. nfs-mount of DU V4.0D from server
2. cd /serverdirectory/OSF1
3. try to install (logfile see below)
- installing "Patch 0042.01" out of DU V4.0D-distribution didn't help
(42.01 = pax tar And cpio Archive Handling Correction)
- "isl/utilupdate -r -m /serverdirectory" changed nothing
- changing directory where to start ris also don't work
- installing "normal" subsets makes no problems
Any help appreciated
with greetings
Claus Nagel
