I have two Alpha 255/233 and one 200/100 with DU 3.2, and a colleague of
mine has an Alpha 255/300 where he had 5.0 before of a major disk crash.
We thought to install the same OS version, and thought that 4.0g or 4.0f
would be the best for all of us.
Our institutional arrangement is quite intricate. I got my 3 Alphas from
our space agency (at the same time when 3 other CNR institutes located
several hundreds or even 1000 km apart got identical systems). My
colleague refurbished it from an OpenVMS system.
We never had a software contract of our own, but the General Services (GS)
common to all CNR institutes in Milano and Bologna had a campus contract.
We could get the relevant disks from one of those GS (one has up to 4.0f
and the other 4.0g).
However I'd like to know the exact list of disks we will need (none of
those GS are colocated with us). A colleague in Bologna (which also kept
his 3 twin Alphas frozen to 3.2) mentioned 2 CD's, but I see that the 3.2
distribution I have consists of
- 2 disk Op Sys
- 1 disk firmware update
- 1 disk complementary products
- 4 disk software product library
- 2 disk online doc library
- 1 disk alpha freeware
so I believe I need more than 2 disks (surely we need a Fortran compiler
in addition to the default stuff, and I presume also the firmware update)
Could anybody let me have the list of the CDs with their date and code
number (e.g. my OSF3.2 is August 1995 AG-PS3NN-XE) for 4.0g or f ?
