        Welcome to RT-11 V5.3
 
 
 
        You have bootstrapped the RT-11 Distribution Disk.  Use this disk to
 
        install your RT-11 system, then store it in a safe place.
 
 
 
        RT-11  V5.3  provides an automatic installation procedure which will
 
        back up your distribution disk and build a working system disk which
 
        should  be  used for your work with RT-11.
 
        This  working  system disk will only  contain  the  RT-11  operating
 
        system.  After  the  RT-11  installation  is  complete,  follow  the
 
        installation instructions  packaged  with  any optional languages or
 
        utility software which you will be using.
 
 
 
 
 
        Press the "RETURN" key when ready to continue.
 
 
 
        You  can  choose  to  install  RT-11  manually.  This  procedure  is
 
        described in the RT-11 Installation Guide.
 
 
 
        If  you  are a new user of RT-11, DIGITAL highly recommends that you
 
        use the automatic installation procedure.
 
 
 
        Do you want to use the automatic installation procedure?
 
        (Type YES or NO and press the "RETURN" key): y
 
 
 
        You  will  be guided through the installation process by a series of
 
        instructions  and questions; you have an interactive dialog with the
 
        RT-11  installation  program.  All  you  need  to  do is follow the
 
        instructions  carefully.  When  the  instructions ask you to mount a
 
        disk in a specified drive, find the disk with the correct label  and
 
        mount it in the drive, as shown in your installation booklet.
 
 
 
        Do  not  remove  any  disk until specifically instructed to do so.
 
        Once  a  disk  is  mounted in a drive, it must remain in the drive
 
        until a message appears asking you to remove the disk.
 
 
 
        Press the "RETURN" key when ready to continue.
 
 
 
 
 
        Please enter today's date in the following format:
 
 
 
        DD-MMM-YY
 
          where DD is the day of the month
 
                MMM is the first 3 letters in the name of the month
 
        YY is the last two numbers of the year
 
 
 
        For example:  September 19, 1984 is 19-SEP-84
 
 
 
        Type in the date, then press the "RETURN" key.
 
 
 
              16-oct-94
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
        A backup copy of the distribution disk will now be built.
 
        Mount a blank disk in DL0 (Drive 0).
 
        See the Automatic Installation Booklet for mounting instructions.
 
        (Remember that the disk is not mounted until you have pressed the LOAD
 
        button and the READY indicator light is on).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
        Press the "RETURN" key when you have mounted the disk.
 
 
 
 
 
        Before  a  blank  disk  can  be used it must be prepared so that the
 
        software can write data to it. This preparation is called initiali-
 
        zation.
 
 
 
        The disk in DL0 is now being initialized.
 
 
 
        The following procedure should produce informational  messages
 
        in the form ?FORMAT-I-Message,  or ?DUP-I-Message.  No  action
 
        is required as a result of these messages.  If BAD blocks  are
 
        detected, the block number will be provided.  This information
 
        should be noted for future reference.
 
 
 
        This can take approximately fifteen minutes.  Please wait...
 
 
 
 
 
?DUP-I-No bad blocks detected DL0:
 
 
 
        Now copying the distribution disk from DL1 (Drive 1) to DL0 (Drive 0).
 
 
 
        This may take up to five minutes.  Please wait...
 
 
 
 
 
        Your backup copy of the distribution disk is in DL0 (Drive 0).
 
 
 
        Please remove this disk from DL0 and label it
 
        "RT-11 V5.3 BIN RL02 BACKUP".
 
        Refer to Appendix B of your installation booklet for instructions
 
        for dismounting a disk.
 
 
 
        Press the "RETURN" key when you have removed the disk.
 
 
 
 
 
        Your working system disk will now be built automatically. This  disk
 
        will contain the RT-11 Operating System.
 
        Select a blank disk and label it: "RT-11 V5.3 BIN RL02 WORKING"
 
        and mount it in DL0 (Drive 0).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
        Press the "RETURN" key when you have mounted the disk.
 
 
 
 
 
        The disk you mounted in DL0 (Drive 0) is an original distribution
 
        or backup disk.
 
 
 
        The next procedure initializes DL0.  As a  result,  any  files
 
        that currently reside on DL0 will be permanently lost. If  you
 
        would like to retain any files,  EXIT  from Automatic Installation
 
        Procedure and copy  them  to another volume.
 
 
 
 
 
        Do you want to EXIT from Automatic Installation (Y)? n
 
        The disk in DL0 is now being initialized.
 
 
 
        The following procedure should produce informational  messages

        is required as a result of these messages.  If BAD blocks  are

        Your working system disk will now be bootstrapped.

      Installation of RT-11 Version 5.3 is complete and you are now
 
    executing from the working volume    (provided you have used the
 
    automatic installation procedure). DIGITAL recommends you verify
 
    the correct  operation  of  your  system's  software  using  the
 
    verification procedure.  To do this, enter the command:
 
 
 
                            IND VERIFY
 
 
 
        Note that VERIFY should be performed  only after the distri-
 
    bution media have been backed up.  This was accomplished as part
 
    of automatic installation on  all  RL02,  RX02,  TK50, and  RX50
 
    based systems,  including the  MicroPDP-11 and the Professional
 
    300.  If you have not completed automatic installation, you must
 
    perform a manual backup before using VERIFY.  Note also,  VERIFY
 
    is NOT supported on RX01 diskettes,    DECtape I or II,  or the
 
    Professional 325.
 
 
 
    DIGITAL also  recommends  you  read  the  file V5NOTE.TXT, which
 
    contains information  formalized too late to be included  in the
 
    Release Notes.  V5NOTE.TXT can be TYPED or PRINTED.
