1) I get no "REMove" task built. I've tried a SYSGEN3 and it doesn't get built either. I wonder if that task is absent from the "standard function" system and I will have to do a fully customized SYSGEN.

REMove is not a task. It's a built-in command in MCR.

OK. Then for some reason REM is not recognized as a command, but REMOVE (full word) is... The installation scripts execute it as REM and fail...

2) Even being logged on a privileged account I can't write anything under [1,54] unless I SET /UIC first. I get a privilege violation error when I try to PIP something if I have any other default directory. That   causes installation scripts to fail (I've tried to install F77 and it aborts when it tries to copy the OTS and the compiler task. My SYSUID is set to [1,54]. I guess I'm missing something but have no clue about what is it.

That is because when you do a SET /UIC in 11M on a privileged terminal, it always changes both your protection uic and default uic.
(...)
I'll try and write something up later, and post here if people really want to know...

Well, I want to know for sure :) I'm trying to apply my VMS knowledge to RSX, and it is obviously not the same...

If I can overcome these problems I plan to publish the installation log to help anyone wanting to do the same...

Excellent!

It's done now:

I will do a part 3 explaining how to add HELP support, how to add user accounts and how to configure the STARTUP.CMD to get a barebones, working RSX11M system... Any suggestions and corrections will be much appreciated...
