tru64 box content

Hi,

After some hassle I finally got a hold on a box with Tru64. However there is something, which is odd.

The documentation and the label on the associated products say 5.1B-1
The label on the operating system cd says 5.1B
I also have a PK3 cd.
Since I do not see PKs for 5.1B-1, may I assume, that PKs are the same for both releases?

thanks for any info,

Michael

Hi Michael

Sure,

Associated products comes in 2 CD's may be
5.1B-1 may be the first CD.

Re: tru64 box content

5.1B-1 is a minor update of 5.1B if you mean the real Tru64 version. There are some enhancements and fixes. Installing a patchkit of 5.1B (without -1) is not a valid option in this case for 5.1B-1.

But if you mean the associated product cd, maybe it is a label mistake or typo.

Ravi, Ralf,

assoc. products are both labelled version 5.1B-1, while opereting system and PK3 are labelled version 5.1B

is that a mix up?

Hi Michael

I don't think it's mix up.

since both associated product Media are labled as 5.1B-1, it's for OS 5.1B-1 only.

5.1B is base 5.1B OS and Pk3 is for 5.1B os

Re: tru64 box content

Ravi,

do you have 5.1B-1?
Is the cd operating system for 5.1B-1 supposed to be just labelled 5.1B?

that's my question.

Micahel

5.1B-1 is 5.1B OS with Pk1, the associated products media that you are referring are for 5.1B-1 OS and not for 5.1B OS

Re: tru64 box content


V5.1B-1 is just a REPACKAGING of V5.1B for shipment with DS15 systems and other hardware that requires NHD7.
The OS CD is exactly the same in V5.1B and V5.1B-1.
There is no difference between V5.1B with patchkit#3 installed, and V5.1B-1 with the same patchkit#3 from the CD in the box.

The differences come from the NHD7 CD and the addition or more recent version of some software on the Associated Products CD's like the HP-UX manpages.

If you do not have hardware that requires the NHD7 CD then V5.1B-1 is equal to V5.1B+patchit#3.
