- My goal: create a set of floppies with the X386 distribution on them
- and then extract that distribution onto my 386BSD.
-
- My situation:
-
- At home: 386BSD binary distribution up and running on a 386-33 clone
- At work: HP-UX and SunOS workstations, one which has a floppy drive
-
- I have already ftp'd the files core-{bin,server,fonts,inc,lib,man}-1.0.3.tar.Z
- from agate.berkeley.edu to a fileserver at work. How can I create a
- multivolume set of floppies which I can then use to install X on my 386 at
- home?
-
- I cannot use MCOPY to move the files to floppies as each one is far too big
- to fit on a single floppy. This has GOT to be a simple problem, what am
- I missing (besides a Unix User's guide, something which two decades of
- Unix users have missed)?
