- I was able to extract them by:
-
- go into srcdist directory and ln * /tmp
- go into /tmp and type extract src01
-
- I found that extract was missing, and I had to mount /dev/fd0a /mnt
- (mount dist fs floppy in A:), then look for the extract program.
-
- I found extract in one of the .Z files. I was able to cpio -i -d filename
- (I think I remembered that one ok)
-
- For some stupid reason, extract is placed in the /tmp directory during the
- install, and when install reboots your machine, it wipes all of /tmp
