Lines: 27 I have four questions, but first ... The Background: I have a PS/2 on an ethernet running AIX v1.1 (hopefully this is soon to change to 2.2!). Most of the other machines around here run BSD4.3, so that's where the expertise lies. The Questions: 1. X Windows: I have successfully loaded and am running X. How do I make the system login prompt run in an X Window? 2. DOS Merge & X: Is there any way to specify full screen DOS mode from X? I can start a DOS Merge window, or type "dos" at a c-shell prompt and get DOS in that window. Is the only way to get full-screen DOS to exit X first? 3. Remote Printing: Is it possible to remote print to a machine running Berkley printing (without manually ftping the file first)? 4. Backups: What is the best way to perform backups over the network since "dump" isn't available? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! Wendy Ross wross@caen.engin.umich.edu
