Installing new OS

[Alice Daniel]

I am installing tru64 4.0f (for now) on a spare disk pack (ES40). I get "finder -q" error when the initial interface comes up. Why and what is this msg?

Hi,

how far have you come with the installation?
Is that already the booting of the new os?
What is your initial interface?
Did you check for the requirements of the harware?

greetings,

Michael

Thanks for responding.

I got nowhere on the install. As soon as the I boot from CD and the user interface for entering the system name, root user..., I get the finder -q msg.

The spare disk should have nothing on it. I am booting from CD.

Hi,

is there any reason, you go for 4.0F?
Please post a show config, so we can see, if there is any unsupported hardware,

thanks,

Michael

If GUI leads to a problem use the fallback textmode:

if "initializing" occures, press CTRL/C
enter:
# restart nogui

have a look into the installation guide
