    OK yeah your right. The openvms73.iso Was booted on dua0. But this is 
dua1. The virtual memory system itself. But After consulting yet again with 
chapter 5. And I will continue to do so till I catch on in my sleep. I found 
a tcpip file in kit.dir;1. And logged it.

Logging to file "log"

 $ product install /log dec-vaxvms-tcpip-v0501-15-1.pcsi

    Ok. Is product used or vmsinstal used. Traversing directories can be 
hard.
