387.0. "Need DECwindows/Ultrix kit" by NITMOI::WITHERS (No life I know can compare with pure imagination) Sun Mar 12 1989 18:10

    Hello.  I have a VS2000 running VMS and DECwindows (V5.1) and have
    just installed Ultrix on an alternate drive and would like to install
    the DECwindows/Ultrix package.  Can someone please point me to a
    kit and/or document on how to install it?
    
    Thanks,

387.1	SDC is best bet	32291::FRANCUS	Mets in '89	`Mon Mar 13 1989 09:44`	16
	You need UWS2.0. This has the base Ultrix3.0 operating system as well as the DECwindows stuff. Your best bet is to get a support kit from SDC. Installing UWS2.0 is just like installing Ultrix3.0. You put in the supported tape, type >>> b mua0 and then follow the directions. I believe that getting kits off the network presents a licensing issue with regard to DEC's license with AT&T. yoseff
387.2	Another kit?	NITMOI::WITHERS	No life I know can compare with pure imagination	`Mon Mar 20 1989 16:22`	19
	Hello again. I had a brief problem (being sent the V2.3 Ultrix kit) and have just got the Ultrix V3.0 kit including: o Ultrix V3.0 Standalone o Ultrix V3.0 Supported o Ultrix V3.0 UnSupported After installation, the default banner in /etc/motd proclaims Ultrix V3.0 and UWS V2.0 yet the workstation is still in native (yuck) mode. Is the UWS V2.0 another kit (tape) that is not included in the standard Ultrix V3.0 (MicroVax II/VS2000) package? George
387.3	yep...you need Workstation software..	FUEL::graham	if ya want home cookin, stay home	`Mon Mar 20 1989 21:20`	13
	re .2 >Is the UWS V2.0 another kit (tape).. Yes, that's what you need to install DECwindows software...the tape is normally marked as WS 2.0.... Very confusing...we have sent in an SPR to have "good titles" assigned to the Ultrix software media...at the momment, many newcomers to Ultrix get easily confused. Kris...
