Also, unless I'm totally misremembering, the savesets can be anywhere.
They do not have to be in the root directory.

Hi Jim,
With only 64218 free blocks on the system disk you might run into problems
upgrading VMS regardless of where the savesets live.
You could put them in the TLD of another disk.
You can delete the savesets after the upgrade is complete.

I Very vaugely remember a document that came with the Field Test kit
that gave me a hint that it was possible to "Upgrade" from the K7.2 to the
production version of 7.2 after the field testing was completed .
And of course that document is either extrememly buried or gone .
If I recall correctly, to do a VMS upgrade on VAX you put the VMS kit
savesets somewhere easily found (e.g. top level directory of the VMS system
disk) then run
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL VMS073 DUA0:[000000]
(assuming your kit savesets are VMS073.A, VMS073.B, etc and DUA0:[000000] is
where you put them).
It's possible to tell VMSINSTAL to pause the installation so that you can
make changes to the kit:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL VMS073 DUA0:[000000] OPTIONS RSP=A
This will tell VMSINSTAL to unpack the .A saveset and then it wait at a
prompt. Login from another terminal and edit the KITINSTAL.COM procedure
which you will find in a newly-created subdirectory of SYS$UPDATE.
Somewhere in KITINSTAL.COM it will define the VMS version it is willing to
ugprade from.

Jeremy Begg
Working on getting the savesets copied over , But dua0:[000000] (*)
contains critical files I'd really rather not pollute with the savesets .
Would creating a subdirectory there work too ? I do have another disk (well
disk file in simh) available I could use if that could work ?
