- Having installed gtak 201 binaries on a friend's machined with
- a Future Domain 950 and Wangtek 6130 (?), I have some questions.
- Doing a 'tar cp .' seems to chunk away nicley, with only an error
- message about not being able to back up swapper.dat. Fine. Reading
- with 'tar tpv' gives several errors about unrecognized file type and
- it stops part way thru the archive. After much trial and error, it
- seems it can be restarted at the point it dies, and it only complains
- that what it sees doesn't look like tar format, then it picks up for
- awhile, and the error process is repeated. All this on an hpfs volume,
- with much the same story when run against dos fat partitions on the
- same disk. xp and xpv give much the same story. System is a 486/33
- isa with the service pack installed and the winos2 3.1 beta.
-
- Any suggestions for fixes or requests for information that was left
- out? TIA!
