I have discovered that if the bin01 is extracted onto a disk <40MB (mine is 39 and a bit) then it will not all fit on. The manuals are missing and stuff like termcap out of /usr/share/misc are missing. Is there any way that I can extract only the last few files only from the floppies? Of course, no termcap-no vi :-{ So, I ftp'd the termcap from the ~/filesystem/usr/share/misc directory on my local friendly server (src.doc.ic.ac.uk). vi then complains that there is no ':up=:' defined for the terminal. Anybody got any ideas?
