This directory contains the files needed to build a clean UNIX v6 installation from tape. It requires that you have "expect" and simh's "pdp11" and "wget" installed in your path. (Ubuntu: apt-get install simh expect wget). To build a new system run:

   $ ./setup

Once you have built your clean system, run it with simh's pdp11 emulator:

   $ pdp11 run.conf
   @unix
   login: root
   # ls -l
   # sync
   ^E
   quit

You can log in as "user" or "root". Eight configured serial lines can be reached with telnet localhost 5555. To gracefully shut down, log in as root, sync thrice, and use ^E and quit.

To see how the system was configured, read the "runsetup" and "runsetup2" scripts.

The tape image is originally from http://doc.cat-v.org/unix/v6/operating-systems-lecture-notes/v6/

The setup scripts are based on instructions from http://minnie.tuhs.org/PUPS/Setup/v6_setup.html
