It depends on how _wierd_ your environment is. I've done several RT-11
SYSGEN's, trying to get everything I want working to work (still don't have
TCP/IP running, been to busy with OpenVMS). On the other hand the copy of
RSX-11M I'm running was SYSGENed on another system I've got that is now in
pieces, and as such complains about some missing controllers. One of these
days I'm going to have to get M+ installed, and when I do that I'll have to
do a SYSGEN.

Well, I know it's been a learning experience for more than just you. :^)
Since I now realize I was partially misinformed about the RLV11, not that
in my case it matters since I'll be leaving it in the system it's in, and
I've only got one.
