Some questions, was Re: [pups] Test

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello fron Gregg C Levine
Um no. I was thinking of V7, of the original UNIX. As it happens, I am still
not comfortable with the earlier versions of BSD. So, I am interested in
getting V7, or V6 to work via a networked environment. And yes, I have seen
your file, and the read me for it.

I recall V7 had UUCP and that some non-tcp/ip networking implementations
existed for it, but I have never heard of a tcp/ip stack for V7.  Does
such a thing exist?

Yes, various serial-networking based ones (early DECnet, X.25
and PacketNet stuff) and perhaps the multiplexer device stuff.

Nope, didnt fit in the address space.  As far as I know, the
earliest TCP/IP UNIX for PDP-11 was 2.10/2.11bsd.

  Don't know.  To save on space in the GENERIC kernel, likely.

  Yes.

  Hmmm...I'm trying to remember.  I *think* that there was actually networking
in the SIMH archive, while there is not in the generic install archive.

  Heh.

Hello again from Gregg C Levine
Okay, that covers my questions for your department. Thank you, David.
 No networking? Why not? Can that be added? And how did you add the
source code disks?

And as for the comment, David, I just remember them, and write them
down. He did say those, and probably has them filed the way I
suggested. Mine second, your selection first, and third.

  The distribution doesn't include any networking IIRC.

  Yep--that's how I got my system bootstrapped.  dd'd the image to a SCSI disk
and stuck it in my /73.

  "That" being the stuff in the standard distribution?  Yes.

  What, with "oh dear" and "oh, Jamie!" competing for the status of favourite?

Hello again from Gregg C Levine
Here are those questions:
1) What is the status of networking, with regards to the boot images?
2) Has anyone actually managed to dump the image that's contained within the
Soupnik collected UNIX versions to an actual disk?
3) Has anyone actually managed to build a kernel from that source code?
Either native, and on a Simh setup will do.
