�tHESE ARE THE NOTES FOR THE uNIX 128 V3.00 SYSTEM...
�
�1.  wHAT IT IS:
�    uNIX 128 IS AN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE uNIX OPERATING SYSTEM FOR THE
�cOMMODORE 128/128d EQUIPPED WITH A 1571 DRIVE AND AN
�80 COLUMN MONITOR.  iT IS BY NO MEANS A COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION OF
�UNIX: IT CANNOT "BACKGROUND" PROCESSES (AND THEREFORE CONTAINS NO
�PROCESS MANAGEMENT ROUTINES)- THINK ABOUT THE OVERHEAD OF MULTITASKING
�A 6502 PROCESSOR!); ...
�
�2.  hOW TO GET IT:  yOU SHOULD TRANSFER THE PROGRAMS USING BINARY MODE,
�BOTH FROM THIS SITE TO YOUR LOCAL SITE AND FROM YOUR LOCAL SITE TO
�YOUR 128.  tHESE FILES HAVE BE ARCHIVED USING lYNX 128, WHICH CAN BE
�OBTAINED FROM THE MILTON.U.WASHINGTON.EDU (128.95.136.1) FTP SITE,
�AMONG OTHER PLACES.
�    tHE FILES SHOULD BE: UNIX1.LNX, UNIX2.LNX, UNIX3.LNX AND
�00UNIX128-V3.NOTES.  i MAY INCLUDE OTHER ADDITIONS OR PATCHES AS THE
�URGE HITS ME...
�
�3.  hOW TO BUILD THE SYSTEM:  PLACE THE .LNX FILES ON A BLANK DISK,
�AND DE-ARCHIVE THEM.  tO SET UP THE NECESSARY SYSTEM FILES, TYPE
�run "make" FROM basic.  tHEN TYPE run "startup".  tHIS WILL LOAD THE
�uNIX 128 sHELL, ASK YOU FOR YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD (THE ONLY
�ACCOUNT THAT IS SET UP IS "ROOT", PASSWORD "ROOT".)  yOU WILL BE
�GIVEN THE % PROMPT, AT WHICH YOU SHOULD TYPE "FSCK", WHICH WILL
�CREATE THE NECESSARY DIRECTORY FILES.  oNCE YOU ARE GIVEN BACK THE %
�PROMPT, THE SYSTEM BUILDING PROCESS IS COMPLETE.
�
�4.  wHERE TO GO FROM HERE:
�    tHE uNIX 128 SYSTEM CLOSELY FOLLOWS uNIX STANDARDS.  yOU CAN GET
�HELP FROM MOST uNIX TEXTS, OR FROM THE FOLLOWING ON-LINE SOURCES:
�
�-"INTRO": THIS IS AN 11 PAGE DOCUMENT DETAILING SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT
�PROGRAMS IN THE uNIX 128 PACKAGE.  yOU CAN READ THIS  BY TYPING
�"MORE INTRO".
�
�-MAN: THIS IS THE COMMAND TO SHOW A SECTION OF THE MANUAL.  jUST TYPE
�"MAN COMMAND" (EXAMPLE:  % MAN FSCK) TO SEE THE DESCRIPTION OF A
�SPECIFIC COMMAND.  yOU CAN TYPE "COMMANDS" TO SEE A LIST OF ALL THE
�COMMANDS AVAILABLE.
�
�-BROWSE: THIS IS A MANUAL BROWSER THAT ALLOWS EASY PERUSAL OF THE MANUAL.
�tYPE "BROWSE" TO USE IT.
�
�mY SUGGESTION IS TO READ "INTRO", THEN LEARN THE COMMANDS USING BROWSE.
�
�5.  bUGS:  aLTHOUGH i HAVE TRIED VERY HARD TO MAKE THIS CODE AS BUG FREE
�AS POSSIBLE, THERE WILL BE ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE.
�pLEASE REPORT ANY PROBLEMS YOU FIND!  i CAN'T FIX WHAT i DON'T KNOW
�ABOUT!  (i DO KNOW ABOUT A PROBLEM IN TIP'S vt100 COMPATIBILITY, WHICH
�i HOPE TO FIX IN THE NEAR FUTURE- i DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD UP THE RELEASE
�FOREVER.)
�
�gOOD LUCK!
