I just got an XL1201, and I'm happily stuffing the wisdom of Docex into my meager brain, but I am worried that my disks might evaporate of their own accord or due to my stupidity. In reading the Genera 8.1 Software Installation Guide, I see that it's possible to put ones life thegether using CD, but only if one reads "Symbolics Genera 8.foo CD-ROM XL Bootstrap Tape." Is this simply a FEP kernel on a SCSI tape file? Would a FEP kernel written to a DC600 or DC6150 tape with Linux DD and read from a Tandberg drive work for disaster recovery, or can FEP only talk to QIC-100/gammamat? Assume for this exercise that your disks have nothing on them. Yours in confusion, -- Christopher Oliver Traverse Internet Systems Coordinator 223 Grandview Pkwy, Suite 108 oliver@traverse.net Traverse City, Michigan, 49684 let magic f = fun x -> x and more_magic n f = fun x -> f ((n f) x);;
