[HECnet] Small trouble with RSX11M 4.6

[Jordi Guillaumes i Pons]

Hi,

After reading the real experts discussing about the difficulties one has to expect generating a 11M (no plus) system I wanted to test it first hand and I've (almost) successfully sysgene'd from scratch a RSX11M 4.6 system from its tape distribution. I said "almost" because I've run into 2 little problems, one of those probably coming from my lack of knowledge about RSX itself...

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. 

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.

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