Hi,
I'm having problems creating a sandbox.  Am I using an invalid backing tree ?

Thanks, Harold

Looks like it made the sandbox though, can you do a workon to it?

This message often occurs when creating a new sandbox if the sandbox listed as 
your default is no longer accessible or its backingtree isn't mounted.

That's all that should be there. You made a new sandbox that comes empty. You 
can see what's in the backingtree by doing "bsh ls"

If you want, you can link files in the backingtree to your sandbox. Suppose 
you wanted to work in libc:

mkdir -p usr/ccs/lib/libc
cd usr/ccs/lib/libc
mklinks .  #will populate this dir with links to the files in the backingtree

mklinks -copy .  # will put copies of the files there

you really only need the files you are working on. The others will 
automagically be accessed from the backingtree if you build.

If you have web access you can find a lot of useful info from

| I can do a workon but there does not appear to be much there:
| 
| quarry.zk3.dec.com> workon -sb harold
| quarry.zk3.dec.com> ls -R
| Makeconf
| 
| Should I try a different backing tree ?
| 
| Thanks for your help.  Harold
