Before trying anything look at the scripts buildmini get maketape To construct a tape suitable for bootstrapping a system first find a spare file system for a ``mini root'' and patch the buildmini shell script to reflect its location. Second, decide where your ``distribution'' source is located and patch the get and maketape scripts. Then do the following: % buildmini % maketape [ 6250 | 1600 [ tapename [ remotetapemachine ] ] ] This builds a distribution on one tape at 6250bpi, two tapes at 1600bpi. The tape drive may be on a remote machine if the last optional arg is given. For 1600bpi, be sure and check whether /usr/src will fit on one tape. The current distribution is about 80+ megabytes and easily fits on one tape at 6250bpi with a blocking factor of 20.
