Another tape-related question: The SLS installation script offers installation from tape. Is this from QIC-Floppycontroler tape or only SCSI tape, and how does the installation work ? Just to tar the whole SLS directory tree onto the tape and then boot from the bootdisk and say "installation from tape" will hardly do the job, I suppose ? Do I need a special form of the SLS package, and if so, where can I get it ? -- : whoisit? ( -- ) ." Philip Zembrod " ( zembrod@informatik.uni-freiburg.de ) ;
