@ 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.
@
