1.1       root        1: Sun Feb 13 11:04:42 PST 1983
                      2: 
                      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
                      8:        maketape
                      9: 
                     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.
                     22: 
                     23: Sun Jul 31 18:38:43 PDT 1983
                     24: 
                     25: FLASH!  The distribution is now weightier than ever.  Expect to
                     26: need about 80 megabytes for all the sources and binaries.
