Peter, The command file below is from a SYSGEN driver build of DDDRV from my system but I think it should work for yours. Note that OU: is defined by the SYSGEN process and should be set as a logical to your system disk (DL0:) or perhaps more simply just edited to be SY: Also, note that it uses RSXVEC.STB which should work on the pregenned RL02 RSX11M+.

Much of the rest is the machine dependent layer (/arch). Neither change the 'complexity' of Linux (though they represent their own complexity). I recall at one point a decade or so ago those two hierarchies amounted to significantly more than 75% of the LoC. The actual '/kernel' dir at that time contained something like 250K LoC (tho that didn't include a lot of things we'd consider kernel code like various filesystems and networking). KJ

Hi Mark, Thank you so much for this information! Seeing this, I was on the right track but was missing a few items. I typed this into a file on the PDP and ran it, but now it turns out I don't have the RSX11M.OLB file, so I guess I am just going to have to work on getting the sysgen stuff onto my disk. Again, thank you very much for the info! -Peter On Mon, Dec 30, 2024 at 3:20 PM Mark Matlock wrote: > Peter, >The command file below is from a SYSGEN driver build of DDDRV from my > system but I think it should work for yours.
