Do you have a login at the VSI Service Portal? If so, look there.
They may be a set of PAKS for the CLP. I was a CLP member, but
applied and was granted membership in the Ambassador's program so I
don't think I'll see them. But, if they did it that way, you
should.
It's a pity VSI didn't implement some automated VMS knowledge-based
test to determine which level of hobbyist VMS access you got. If you
passed the test, you get the full install kits, but you are expected
to know enough to install and configure it yourself.
If you fail the test, you get the current pre-built version and get
to ask handholding questions.
VSI claimed they did the change because of all the basic questions
people unfamiliar with VMS were asking and because those people
probably expected to be handheld in the same way as you are when
installing a basic Windows setup. Some knowledge-based test before
being granted hobbyist access may have solved this.
I absolutely fucking agree with this!
