Thanks for the replies:

The QUESTION was:

what is the method to load additional BASE OS subsets
(i.e. LSM, fonts etc) after the OS is loaded?
I tried to setld -i . from the Tru64Unix 4.0F cd
from the /ALPHA/BASE directory but got the errors
pasted below.

The ANSWER is, thanks to Pat Villani and others:

First of all , in the question there was a typo --I
typed setld -i which was meant to be setld -l .

Pat Villani pointed out that I need to be in the root
directory before the following command will work:
(apparently an old 4.0* limitation in setld)

Do a cd to root ('/') and then do
setld -l /cd_mount_point/ALPHA/BASE

I was previously trying to do this while I was in the
/mnt/ALPHA/BASE without specifying the destination.
Alan and Dr. Blinn also mentioned an alternate method,
by specifying the destination.

Thanks
