--- Start Zitat --- @ Date: Thu, 24 Oct 91 17:12:19 MDT @ From: shirley@solbourne.com (Shirley McAdams) @ To: info-solbourne@acsu.buffalo.edu @ Subject: 4.1A.1 available via ftp @ Organization: Solbourne Computer, Inc., Longmont, CO @ @ Solbourne's Technical Support is proud to announce the availability of @ OS/MP 4.1A.1 Patch Release via ftp from solbourne.com. @ @ The OS/MP 4.1A.1 upgrade is comprised of a series of new and modified @ object files, programs, and header files for the OS/MP 4.1A operating system, @ and a new, generic, operating system kernel. Together, these files provide @ bug fixes as well as new functionality for the OS/MP operation system. @ @ The OS/MP 4.1A.1 release adds support for the ISO 9660:1988 filesystem @ (sometimes referred to as the "High Sierra Filesystem"), the industry-standard @ file format for CD-ROMS. Support for DOS filesystems has also been added to @ OS/MP with this release, allowing for fast and simple data exchange with PC's @ running DOS @ @ @ Patches Contained in This Release @ @ [long list of patches and enhancements deleted] @ @ The 4.1A.1 Patch Release can be obtained via anonymous ftp from @ solbourne.solbourne.com (141.138.2.2). The image (approx. 10MB) is located @ in ~ftp/pub/support/4.1A.1.tar. @ @ This tar image contains 3 main pieces which comprise the Solbourne @ 4.1A.1 Patch Release. @ @ 1) 4.1A.1 Release Notes in Postscript format @ @ file - 4.1A.1.RELEASE.NOTES.PS @ @ 2) Patch P911017001 @ @ files - README.P911017001 @ dopackage @ dopackage-install @ rmt-from-disk @ mkpkgdir @ dopackage.8 @ mkpkgdir.8 @ @ This patch provides a new version of dopackage and support programs @ that understand installing from an on-disk copy of a distribution in @ addition to the standard installation from tape. The motivation for @ this is to provide an easy installation scheme for patches distributed @ via ftp and uucp. @ @ The utility mkpkgdir is provided, which translates the tape-specific @ package format to the disk-specific format. If a tape distribution is @ to be read onto disk for later installation, this utility must be @ used. One reason for wanting to do this is that after the @ distribution is read on, the directory may be exported via nfs, and @ many machines may install from it simultaneously. @ @ 3) The actual 4.1A.1 image processed by running dopackage @ @ files - TOC @ file.1 thru file.10 @ @ @ The first thing that should be done is to print the Release Notes. @ This can be done by issuing a "lpr -Pprinter-name 4.1A.1.RELEASE.NOTES.PS". @ @ The next thing to do is create a directory where the actual 4.1A.1 image @ is to live and copy the files there. For example: @ @ # mkdir /usr/4.1A.1_image @ # cp TOC file.* /usr/4.1A.1_image @ @ Install patch P911017001 by: @ @ # mv /usr/etc/dopackage /usr/etc/dopackage.orig @ # mv /usr/etc/dopackage-install /usr/etc/dopackage-install.orig @ # cp dopackage /usr/etc @ # cp dopackage-install /usr/etc @ # cp mkpkgdir /usr/etc @ # cp rmt-from-disk /usr/etc @ # cp dopackage.8 /usr/man/man8 @ # cp mkpkgdir.8 /usr/man/man8 @ @ Now install 4.1A.1 by specifying the directory where the 4.1A.1 image resides: @ @ # /usr/etc/dopackage -f /usr/4.1A.1_image @ @ The 4.1A.1 installation is now complete. @ @ If you have any questions please call the SOURCE at 800-447-2861 or email @ the SOURCE at support@solbourne.com --- Ende Zitat --- Zu finden ab sofort auch auf ftp.cs.uni-sb.de [134.96.7.254] unter /pub/sun/solbos -rw-r--r-- 1 bin 4849154 Oct 28 23:51 4.1A.1.tar.Z Bitte abends/nachts abholen wg. der doch recht beachtlichen Groesse. -- Bernard Sieloff | DOMAIN: bs@cs.uni-sb.de Max-Planck-Institut fuer Informatik | UUCP: bs@sbsvax.uucp Uni Bau 36, Im Stadtwald 15 | Phone: +49 681 302 2434 W-6600 Saarbruecken 11, Germany | Fax: +49 681 302 4421
