4.2bsd on a VAX/730 ???

[richl at daemon.UUCP]

Not only can it be done, but we did it without a tape drive! (We had a 
bare-bones 730). We use the rdump and rrestore heavily. It is on
ethernet.

However, the load average jumps to 1 the instant somebody logs on. It
took 3 hrs to compile a kernel in single user (takes maybe 25 minutes
on a 780, for those of you without source licenses). It does not seem
real useful as a any-user machine. It might be of some use as a daemon
machine: network, mail, or news gateway, printer server, something like
that. Maybe as a single user machine.
