Very simple. Assuming you have not configured users to have individual System Folders, boot A/UX and go into the System Folder on / (not on the MacPartition or on any other MacOS partitions). Place your INITs, CDEVs, etc., into the Extensions folder there. Please be very careful about this, as 32-bit dirty INITs may very likely cause you to be *unable* to get back into A/UX. I found this out the hard way with the 8*24*GC CDEV. You'll have to undergo the harrowing experience of rooting around in the Launcher shell. > The other thing is how do I configure all the server services, do > they have MacOS tools or are they all text file based? They are typically text file based. Make sure inetd is starting (it's enabled by switching it on in /etc/inittab, I think). Then modify /etc/inetd.conf -- warning: it isn't terribly current in its format. > Lastly, are there any archives of pre-compiled A/UX software?
