This forum has been around in this format for over 15 years. These rules and guidelines help us maintain a healthy and active community, and we moderate the forum to keep things on track.
Please familiarize yourself with these rules and guidelines. Rule 1: Remain civil and respectful There are several hundred people who actively participate here. People come from all different backgrounds and will have different ways of seeing things.
You will not agree with everything you read here. Back-and-forth discussions are fine but do not cross the line into rude or disrespectful behavior. Conduct yourself as you would at any other place where people come together in person to discuss their hobby. If you wouldn't say something to somebody in person, then you probably should not be writing it here. This should be obvious but, just in case: profanity, threats, slurs against any group sexual, racial, gender, etc.
Rule 2: Stay close to the original topic being discussed If you are starting a new thread choose a reasonable sub-forum to start your thread. If you choose incorrectly don't worry, we can fix that. If you are responding to a thread, stay on topic - the original poster was trying to achieve something.
You can always start a new thread instead of potentially "hijacking" an existing thread. Rule 3: Contribute something meaningful To put things in engineering terms, we value a high signal to noise ratio. Coming here should not be a waste of time. This is not a chat room. If you are taking less than 30 seconds to make a post then you are probably doing something wrong.
A post should be on topic, clear, and contribute something meaningful to the discussion. If people read your posts and feel that their time as been wasted, they will stop reading your posts. Worse yet, they will stop visiting and we'll lose their experience and contributions. Do not bump threads. Do not "necro-post" unless you are following up to a specific person on a specific thread. And even then, that person may have moved on.
Just start a new thread for your related topic. Use the Private Message system for posts that are targeted at a specific person.

That means you can only enter a two-digit year. It's not a good idea to set the clock any earlier than the default system time, because then some system files will be in the future, so you should restrict yourself to choosing a year between and !
In the next step, you're asked if you want to add a new user to the system. It's a good idea to do this, because, just like any UNIX or Linux system, you don't want to do everything as root. I'll add myself in the following example, using the default for user ID number, group ID number, and home directory.
We'll want to set passwords for any of the administrative accounts that don't have them yet. This is normally just the setup account, but the setup script will prompt us to confirm each account.
We can just skip any account that already has a "No Login" password set. The final setup step is to give the machine a name. This is really only important if you plan to set up networking such as UUCP later on, but I do like to give each installation a unique name.
You'll be interacting with the UNIX system from this point on. Some keys may not do what you expect. The standard Bourne shell that comes with System V Release 3. As mentioned earlier, this is still a very bare-bones UNIX installation, so we'll want to install some additional packages to make it minimally usable. The Utilities packages may depend on one another. Here is a chart detailing which have dependencies, and which install one or more kernel drivers that will necessitate a reboot.
Prepare for installation by downloading the following floppy diskette images. You'll need to download a total of 22 diskettes. Installation of these packages is done using the sysadm tool. This is an easy to use, menu driven program that prompts for diskettes to install from, and automates the installation process. Let's walk through installing two packages as examples.
The rest should be easy to follow on your own. Start by running the sysadm installpkg command. You'll be prompted to put a floppy into the diskette drive. Once there attach the Cartridge Tape Utilities diskette image to the floppy drive, and then type c to resume the simulator. Now press Enter one more time to begin the installation. You'll see a list of files being installed onto the 3B2.
The first question asks whether the 3B2 has an XM floppy disk drive. It does not — the XM floppy disk drive was an optional, second external floppy drive, but is not supported by the 3B2 simulator — so you'll answer no. As the installation finishes, it will prompt you to reboot the computer.
This is because a kernel driver was installed, and in general, all Utilities that install a kernel driver will prompt for a reboot consult the Utilities table above for a list of packages that install drivers. Begin by logging in as the root user and running the sysadm installpkg command again.
You'll notice it's slightly different this time, because now the Cartridge Tape Controller driver has been installed, and the system knows that it has two different devices that it can install software from.
Select diskette1 by typing 2 at the prompt, and you'll be prompted to insert a diskette into the floppy drive. Once there attach the System Administration Utilities diskette image to the floppy drive, and then type c to resume the simulator. Once the installation is done, you can either type q to quit, or immediately go on to install from the next Utilities diskette.
The DMD was an intelligent, programmable bitmap graphics terminal that ran a special windowing system. There is now an emulator for the DMD available for Macintosh and Linux that will work with the 3B2 simulator with Windows support coming soon. The 3B2 simulator will also work with a real DMD and a hard serial connection. If you are interested in using either a real DMD or the DMD emulator, please be aware that there are additional tools you can install that will add a lot more functionality.
These disks install a number of additional programs, including demos, utilities, and a nifty graphical text editor called jim.
There is only one problem: They also install an old driver that is not compatible with System V Release 3. This will install the correct, compatible driver. The disks you'll need to install are as follows:. All of these diskette images can be installed with the same sysadm installpkg command that was used to install the System V Release 3.
