- There really does seem to be something wrong w/ the SLS sysinstall, perhaps
- because of the new compress format? I don't know, but here is what happens-
-
- doinstall asks for diska2 and installs bin,faq, and shlibs. Then it asks for
- disks a3 and so on. It takes no install action on each, simply asking for the
- next disk. The boot disk it creates at the end will not work. Afterwards,
- commands such as ls won't work either.
-
- The sysinstall script seems to be the problem. That script is somewhat beyond
- me, but it seems to need a dir /install but doesn't create it on the floppy.
- Trying sysinstall -view on a later run produces a *.
-
- Could someone pls help on this? All my SLS files date from Jan 19.
-
- Tx,
- Timothy.
