- What Guy is trying to politely say, is that when you get SunOS on CD
- from Sun, you get either RR format which you might not be able to
- handle, or tar files which are a *bitch* to handle.
-
- However, SunOS CD's from Auspex come as a ufs disk. So if
- you accidently zap one file, you can mount the disk and grab the one
- file, rather than futzing with tar and other programs.
