#HHKB LAYOUT EMULATION LINUX HOW TO#

Next I'd love to know how it's commonly used and installed- I might get a small POWER server sometime, but it would be nice to at least know how to set it up first. My first question is, how different is i OS from AIX, and what are the basics of how it works? Naturally very few of us have any idea how IBM proprietary UNIX based systems work, but I'm hoping someone out there will reply with experience they might have managing or at least observing the operation of the i OS system or the optional application packages offered by IBM to go along with the OS. The main purpose for this thread (recently anyway) is to determine what these installation packages all do and how the software works. If you want to acquire them, legally I can't offer anything directly, but I can point you in a direction of where they might be retrievable.

It's so special that I could never bear to simply get rid of it, so I'm keeping it archived in my best storage drive until I can figure out what to do with itĮDIT: If you're interested in knowing exactly what files I have, please PM me for a list of file names and sizes. There's 1 big problem though I have no idea how to make it work even if I had the hardware to use it on. The download from that server was long and painful at a mere 20-70KBytes/second! That coupled with the lack of availability of this software anywhere else and the fact that it's still a fairly recent build (and that it came from IBM) makes this find one of the jewels of my software collection. I stumbled upon these install packages at random on an FTP server that no longer exists, and retrieved them what seems to be just months after the release of i OS 7.3, so I got lucky big time in this one. I have all the installation data for i OS 6.1, 7.2, and the newest version 7.3. I have the installation packages (.iso and other) for the rare and unusual IBM i OS and various applications that associate with it, as well as some AS/400 service packages and some miscellaneous ones like Domino 9.01 FP2 for Windows and others I can't identify.
