Message-ID: <1992Jul17.160256.4518@news.iastate.edu> Date: 17 Jul 92 16:02:56 GMT Article-I.D.: news.1992Jul17.160256.4518 Sender: news@news.iastate.edu (USENET News System) Organization: Iowa State University, Ames, IA Lines: 20 Evidently the distribution of 386bsd 0.1 is cpio'd... The bindist directory contains a slew of files named bin01.00 thru bin01.56 and the MANIFEST. The INSTALL.NOTES say that this is ten floppies... Do I just copy this stuff to floppies and then use the install procedures outlined? Or... do I need to do something cpio-ish with these files before I put them on the floppies, i.e. while they're still on the UNIX system I'm ftp'ing them with. Sorry if this is really stupid... But, I'd like to have a clue as to what I'm doing before I spend several hours downloading files to ten floppies. =) Thanks a million, D.G. musik@iastate.edu P.S. eMail replies would be great, or News, or whatever. :)
