This is good advice--just one problem...it's W R O N G. Coherent version 4.x and (potentially) higher require a 386, minimum. For a 286 you could use 3.2.1 or earlier. Except for that little problem, though, it's good advice. Also, you might be able to find an old copy of Xenix/286 floating around somewhere which should also work for you. I doubt if SCO still sells it, though. Linux is 386-specific, unfortunately. Fred
