| + | A/UX is [[Apple Computer]]'s implementation of UNIX System V on the Macintosh, with the System 7 graphical interface running as a UNIX application (A/UX version 3.x). |

| + | ====What's the minimum system I need (CPU, disk and RAM) to run A/UX 2.0.1?==== |
| + | |
| + | A/UX 2.0 works on the MacII (with PMMU _or_ 68030 upgrade with FDHD ROM's installed). IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIfx and SE/30 machines. A/UX 2.0.1 additionally supports the IIsi (although the IIsi requires the 68882 chip). A/UX is available preinstalled on a hard disk, on CD-ROM and on floppies (DC2000 tape is no longer supported). |

| + | |
| + | ===Fixing the 32-bit clean error message=== |
| + | If you are sure the Macintosh program you are trying to run is 32-bit clean, just click the OK button and the program will run normally. To prevent the error message from appearing in the future, enter the changesize command where "/path/to/ProgramName" is your application: |
| + | <pre> |
| + | /mac/bin/changesize +32BitCompatible /path/to/ProgramName |
| + | </pre> |
| + | This will not make 24-bit applications into 32-bit applications, so you must use A/UX's 24-bit mode for older applications. |

| + | The most basic differences between 3.0.1 and 3.0.1dt are: |
| + | |
| + | * Buffer cacher size |
| + | * Packages installed during Easy Install |
| + | * Swap space size on Easy Install |
| + | * Autologin enabled in 3.0.1 (AWS95) |
| + | * lpr daemon off in 3.0.1, on in 3.0.1dt |
| + | * Partitions choices in HDSC SetUp |

| + | ===How come my Login screen is gray, not color?=== |
| + | |
| + | Because that's the way Apple wanted it :) Actually, the reason why is |
| + | because the "scrn" resource is missing from "System" in /mac/sys/Login System |
| + | Folder. If you're handy, you can copy "scrn" from some other System and |
| + | paste it in Login's using ResEdit. Make sure the "Is Color" field in "scrn" |
| + | is "1". |
