vax folks probably aren't the _most_ interested in current developments,
but i think most of them probably know, 16 years later, that we switched from a.out to ELF.

has switched its executable format from the old a.out format
|
||||
to ELF, the now more commonly used and supported format.
|
||||
Your old binaries will continue to work just fine.
|
||||
The installation procedure will try to take the necessary steps to
|
||||
accomplish this.
|
||||
The most important step is to move the old a.out shared libraries in
|
||||
.Pa /usr/lib
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Pa /usr/X11R6/lib
|
||||
(if X was installed) to
|
||||
.Pa /emul/aout ,
|
||||
where they will be automatically found if an older a.out binary
|
||||
is executed.
|
||||
.Ic sysinst
|
||||
will use an existing
|
||||
.Pa /emul
|
||||
and / or
|
||||
.Pa /emul/aout
|
||||
directory if available, and will create it (as a symbolic link to
|
||||
.Pa /usr/aout )
|
||||
if necessary.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If you already had a
|
||||
.Pa /emul
|
||||
directory, or a symbolic link by that name,
|
||||
.Ic sysinst
|
||||
should rename it and tell you about it.
