[comp.text] Unix distribution tape

resende@garnet.berkeley.edu (,,,,GM24) (08/19/87)

I guess this is a beginner's question:

I am trying to come up  with a working version of TeX on a 3b2.
I have version 2.1 of ctex, but still need a number of add-ons to
get a working system. Is there a way of getting parts of the 
unix distribution tape through the network?
I don't have a practical way of reading from a 9-track tape into this
system. I hear the whole thing has 60MB which makes matters
worse.

All suggestions welcome
