RT-11

This document is the RT-11 Installation Guide (Version 5.1), published in July 1984 by Digital Equipment Corporation.

Its primary purpose is to provide instructions for installing the RT-11 operating system. The manual covers the entire installation process, including:

• Bootstrapping and preserving the distribution volumes.
• Creating the working system from selected components.
• Customizing the operating system to specific needs.
• Preserving the working system.
• Testing the newly installed system.

The guide is designed with a modular structure, allowing users to navigate directly to the relevant chapters based on their specific hardware configuration (e.g., RX01 diskette, hard disk, magtape, MICRO/PDP-11, Professional 325/350 computers) and distribution medium. It also includes information on software updates and a system generation process for advanced customization.
