- IF you've got several 100 Mb free on #1, set it up as an installation server.
- Use 'mksysb /usr/sys/inst.images/bos.obj.whatever' to create an image, make
- boot diskettes to bring up #2, & install the image. Depending on what's
- installed, the image will be 80-200Mb, if you want to keep variations of
- images and also disk copies of ptf's, then get a 1Gb+ drive (no joke!).
