Currently, the machine has 40 mb ram, 2 disk drives (1st drive, a 1 Gb, has 4.1.4 running on it -- 2nd drive, 424 mb, is target for NetBSD), along with network interface to my IPC running 2.5.1. My first attempt was to try ftp'ing the *.tar.gz files from my IPC -- this seemed to fail -> for some reason, I couldn't get the system to connect over to my IPC (I know networking is ok; I can do it when running 4.1.4 on the 4/330). I had specified a root login, with correct password and IP address of my IPC, along with the directory structure where the files were kept (in this case, /apps/netbsd). 2nd attempt was to create a tar tape by specifying all of the *.tar.gz files on the 'tar cvf /dev/rst0' line while running 4.1.4 on the 4/330. couldn't read these in for some reason...system didn't handle the gz image right (maybe I'm not understanding how to create the tape). 3rd attempt was to create a tar tape by specifying all *.tar files, after using gzip -d to expand them out. On this one, after the tape loading went to a point, got an "out of disk space" on this one...even though / was assigned to a 100 mb disk partition and /usr had 240 mb assigned. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get a system up and running? thanks, bob
