Installing 10.20 on a B2000 workstn.

[Stefan Bergkvist]

Hi,

Is it possible to install 10.20 OS media for 8xx models on a B2000, or do I need media for 7xx models?

[Pete Randall]

I believe back in 10.20, the media were different enough (drivers, kernel, etc) that you would have to have the 7xx media. You could always try it or switch to 11.x.

The media for HP-UX 10.20 were definitely different. There were distinct 800 series CDs and 700 series CDs. One would not work on the other as far as I remember.

If the media says it's for 800, then that's all you can install it on. It took HP a while to get a single media install for two platforms. I'm not sure if the media was ever integrated for the 10.20 release... it would have been towards the end of it's life, if it happened at all. Media that supports both platforms is designated 700/800 on the media.

The first release that worked on both 700 and 800 series was HP-UX 11.0.

The B2000 workstation required Ace 9912 10.20 media.

While we are at it, why no install 11i?

I have a B2000 for my workstation - 11i runs great on it.

All I need now is Gnome 2 from HP...as 1.4 is pretty old. :)
