- FYI, I noticed the other day that agate has a new subdirectory called
- 'filesystem' in the distribution directory (/pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1)
- that seems to have the files already extracted.
-
- Also, you can extract specific files by:
- cd /; cat tmp/bin01.* | uncompress | cpio -idalmu <file1> <file2> ...
-
- You can obtain the names of all files on the bin01 distribution by:
- cat /tmp/bin01.* | uncompress | cpio -it >bin01.filelist
-
- Unfortunately, you still must have all of the files in the bin01 distribution
- online.
-
- An interesting solution to disk space problems might be:
- (for i in /tmp/bin01.*; do cat $i; rm $i; done) | uncompress | cpio -idalmu
- Since this removes the distribution files as it goes, freeing up disk space
- for the cpio extracted files.
- Use this at your own risk.
