The newer way might be to run SCO inside a virtual environment http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/virtualization-host.html BTW If you're doomed to run SCO, get hold of a SCO Skunkware CD, issued by SCO, free) full of FSF & PD etc tools to make raw SCO less annoying. You should search this archive: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation & probably susbscribe & ask there. IMO you'll probably have better luck with FreeBSD than NetBSD for this, (not will certainly, just probably at my guess, for this topic ;-) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, like a play script.
