I have a similar need, but I don't think this will work for me. 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?
