David,

This is the hobbyist distribution.  HPE and it predecessors assumed that 
the people requesting hobbyists distributions know a few minimum things 
including:

1. How to find the online VMS documentation, if nothing else then by 
using a search engine.

2. That they can figure out how to properly unzip a zip archive file for 
VMS or a CD/DVD image.

3. They can figure out how to either burn a CD/DVD image or copy it to a 
target system.

4. They can read the online documentation and follow it.

Yesterday evening I posted a link to what media is available to 
hobbyists downloads.

On that same page are links terminal session logs of installations of 
most of the layered products available to hobbyists for VAX/VMS 7.3 
which should have answered all the questions that he asked today.

And if my memory serves me correctly there was an almost identical 
thread a few months back where I also posted the same link for the same 
reasons.

Regards,
-John
