Re: [U2] UniSubroutine question with UOJ
It has always been thus. You will notice that you can execute a UV program
OK.
The solution we set up over 10 years ago still stands: use execute to do
subroutines.
3 UV programs named something like: SRTN1, SRTN2, SRTN3, all using
SRTN.COMMON
You are welcome to use these: suggestions welcome.
Notes:
-Our names are prefixed with PT (we call out utilities Pilot).
-the PTACT file contains a record for each active user, including if
select list is active
-SP TEST and TEST.S are used to track diagnostic data in the TEST file
SRTN.COMMON contains:

RE: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch
Dave, I use Nero. Most versions of Nero have the iso ability. The easiest way is to start Nero Express and then select the 'Image, Project, Copy' menu option. Then look for the 'Record a disk from disk image previously recorded onto hard drive' option. Then when prompted, navigate to the ISO (you may have to change the file type to see the ISO as Nero has a .nrg format by default) and way you go. If you want to purchase, I have found Nero to rather buggy and the latest release (Nero 8) is just bloatware that continuously aborts and breaks. Good luck.

RE: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch
Dave: I bought an IBM Thinkpad several years ago. Unfortunately, I wiped the drive clean and installed my MSDN copy of Windows XP (free). By taking this action, I wiped out the IBM hidden partition with their software on it. So, IBM informed me their license agreement with various software vendors precluded them from providing me with a DVD (or CD) of the various software products advertised that came with the computer. I therefore had to go out and buy everything I needed (so much for the new Chinese Lenovo brand). I bought "1 Click DVD Copy" and it came with CopyToDVD, which works fairly well. I also had to buy WinDVD to play movies. Oh well, I think I'll buy a MacBook Pro next time. :-) My Dell desktop here in the office has an old copy of "Roxio CD Creator 5" on it. It works fine too.

RE: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch
Sounds like you just wrote the .iso file to the CD. You need to use an
image burning program, like Roxio or Nero or {insert favourite here}. There
is generally an option in these programs to burn an .iso image to the CD.
The CD writing ability of WinXP does not contain this feature.

Subject: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch
Well, here it is Saturday morning and my long-anticipated weekend project of
installing Universe on Linux has just come to a screeching halt.
I downloaded RHEL 5.1 Desktop and burned the disk1 cd image to a CD-ROM
using
Windows XPPro.
When I install the the CD-ROM on the new machine with only the CD-ROM drive
designated as a bootable device, I get a message:
"Boot Error. System Halted."
I tried to install it on my laptop and it failed to install there also.
The CD-ROM drive read lite came on in both cases, so I believe that it's
reading the CD-ROM but not finding what it expects to find.
Using Explorer to view the download or the burned image, I see only one icon
representing an unknown file type.
I don't see any individual folders or files within the image.
To fail this early in the process suggests that I'm doing something very
wrong.
Any suggestions?

RE: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch
I remember when using roxio to create a boot disk there was some little box you had to click somewhere to make sure that the disk would be a bootable disk. Sorry, it's been years since I did that so I'm not sure where it is. But a disk image along is not bootable. It's something extra that has to be added at the time of the burn. hth, Allen -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dave Taylor Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2008 12:09 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch Well, here it is Saturday morning and my long-anticipated weekend project of installing Universe on Linux has just come to a screeching halt.

RE: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch
Dave: I hate to suggest this but did you burn an ISO image with the proper XP burning software that does this properly? If not, then the drag'n drop won't read. So, on my machine I use CopyToDVD (I think) and open the DVD manager. I then drag'n drop the ISO image and the software puts it properly on my machine. Sorry if you've already done this.

Re: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch
What program did you use to do the burn? You need something that can burn an image, like roxio.

RE: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch
Dave, Sounds like the ISO was not burned to the CD/DVD correctly. A ISO is a CD/DVD image file and has to be burned to a CD/DVD in a special way. Products like Nero do this. MS-Windows does not. Hope this helps, Cheers, David Murray RCHE * Learn and do * Excel and share http://u2blog.org -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Taylor Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2008 3:09 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Downloading and Installing RHEL Desktop 5.1 From Scratch Well, here it is Saturday morning and my long-anticipated weekend project of installing Universe on Linux has just come to a screeching halt.
