Hy folks,

my version of tpinst.shar is available for ftp now.

from		<wowbagger.pc-labor.uni-bremen.de> IP# 134.102.228.9
in directory	.../linux/packages/scsi
and		.../linux/packages/SLS

If you have a SCSI-Streamer it'll be great in doing SLS-Installations.

tpinst.shar is source only,so Y'll need a linux-box to compile it
and installed mtools to make a tpinst-disk witch should be inserted
instead of SLS/a3.

By Michael.

PS : I've also posted tpinst.shar to comp.os.linux on Thu, 1 Apr 1993
     (this not a joke) So if Yr expire is long try a
	grep "Subject:.*source.*tpinst" /usr/spool/news/comp/os/linux/*
     Perhaps it's there and Y dont need to ftp :-)

Hy folks,

this is Tape-Installation for Linux-SLS, it now dont need to patch doinstall
or sysinstall, but uses a cheap trick by executing doinst.sh.

How to make it ?

- First copy SLS-a1 and a2 to disk by rawwrite or dd.

- Format 2 disks (one for the new Kernel, and one for tpinst.)

- Insert a disk for tpinst,
  Do a "make disk". (You need a Linux-Box to compile tarsh.c)

- cd to your SLS-Directory insert a new tape and do a
	tar cvf /dev/rmt0 [abcdtxs]?/*.t??

- Install SLS as usual but insert tpinst-disk instead of a3.
  You'll see a message like :
	Insert tape in SCSI drive !
  Insert the new Tape, and press CR.
  After all, you will be ask to insert b1, answer "q" because
  b? was on the tape :-) and continue as usual !
