- I am no guru. Someone who is will probably have a much more sophisticated
- answer.
-
- I was given the following by an AT&T Tech back in the days when there was a
- hotline and support.
- -----------------
-
- Install each of these separately in /bin. Chmod 700 for all three. Be in su
- to use them. I named them "cpin", "cpread", "cpout".
-
- # cpin does full restore from floppy in drive.
- nice cpio -icBvd < /dev/rfp021
-
- # cpread displays the menu of floppy in drive. Good for disks
- # that will not display via the "Display floppy contents" option
- # in the windows.
- nice cpio -icBt < /dev/rfp021
-
- # cpout will copy to disk and establish a menu for same, of
- # ALL of the directories and files in the directory you are in
- # at the time you issue "cpout". If you want just certain files
- # from a given directory, create another directory, copy those
- # files you want into the created directoy. Then cd to that
- # direcory and issue "cpout".
- nice find . -depth -print | cpio -ocBv > /dev/rfp021
