Installation FAQ
Why does the installation bomb out with a "Signal 8" error ?
Contributed by Roberto Zini
Under SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 this is mainly a symptom of a memory problem. In the "SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 Release Notes" booklet, SCO states that your system must have at least 32MB of RAM to succesfully install OpenServer. If you have less, the following message is likely to appear on the screen:
Reading from install source 10 Kb/ramFs/extractProd/extractAll
terminated by signal 8
To solve this problem on a 16MB system, you can restart the installation and type the "notebook" strings while at the boot prompt. Alternatively, reinstall the system by typing the following at the boot prompt:
defbootstr nbuf=100

I took a random stab at the free upgrades and ordered a new cell phone. Didn't check features or reviews. Hope I don't hate it. - Nov 19 18:52
