Schwartz) Organization: 3M Company Date: Fri, 17 Sep 93 22:40:58 GMT X-XXDate: Fri, 17 Sep 93 17:40:45 GMT Lines: 23 I was very excited to stumble across the news of MacBSD being made available. I promptly downloaded everything (agate.berekeley.edu) and read the README file wondering if this was something I'd actually be able to INSTALL, rather than just dream about. It looks good BUT I'm a little hung up on the very first requirement - disk partitioning. What makes a partitioner A/UX compatible? I tried Apple HD SC Setup 7.0.1 and got no indication that A/UX is taken into consideration (this little utility does stink, as indicated in the install notes). Can't I just use Norton Partition to create the partions or do I actually have to create the swap file and directories? Forgive my lack of Unix knowledge here since that's what I'm trying to gain. Any help would be appreciated - I already sent mail to Mr. Briggs but I tend to get a little excited sometimes and I couldn't wait. --- Scott Lowrey - Consultant Analysts International Corporation 3M Engineering Information Systems, 42-6E-01 St. Paul, MN 55106 612-778-6340
