OpenVMS Hobbyist License Question

That is just where I was stuck. My solution was to log in as user SYSTEST
which gave the same complaint (from motif that it wasn't PAKed), but then
dropped me to a command prompt where I was able to register Motif.

I posted a note on how all this stuff works so others can go through the
process a little more smoothly than I did.

BTW, my vaxstation 4000/60 is PICKY as HELL when it comes to what drives
it will use. I tried several makes/models of scsi drives until I found
that only my two Quantum scsi drives work correctly. I think DEC must
have been buying Quantum hdd's for thier machines..?

Not to mention that it doesn't like any of my cdrom drives that are
jumperable for 512byte blocks (at least not for the install). The machine
would boot from ANY of my cdroms to the standalone backup DCL prompt, but
when I initiated the restore it would bomb in a big way.

I had to get an RRD40 to get the install to go. Creating a DD image of
the cd on another hard disk did similar things.

I've got a bid going for several rrd40 cartridges. I had to take the
drive apart to get the CD into it.....

Thanks,

Jeff
