        !             3: The scripts needed to build a boot tape for 4.1b and beyond
        !             4: live here.  Before trying anything look at the scripts 
        !             5: 
        !             6:        buildmini
        !             7:        get

        !            10: To construct a tape suitable for bootstrapping a system
        !            11: first find a spare file system for a ``mini root'' and
        !            12: patch the buildmini shell script to reflect its location.
        !            13: Second, decide where your ``distribution'' source is located
        !            14: and patch the get and maketape scripts.  Then do the following:
        !            15:        % buildmini
        !            16:        % maketape
        !            17: Finally, build the second tape which is a tar of /usr/src with
        !            18:        % cd /usr/src; tar c .
        !            19: Be sure and check /usr/src will fit on one tape.  The current
        !            20: distribution is about 40 megabytes and easily fits on one tape
        !            21: at 1600bpi with a blocking factor of 20.

        !            25: FLASH!  The distribution is now weightier than ever.  Expect to
        !            26: need about 80 megabytes for all the sources and binaries.
