A friend of mine hates to do installations from distribution diskettes,
preferring to copy the diskettes and install from the copies. Is it possible
to do this with SCO Xenix and, say, DISKCOPY? Thanks.

Since it says "diskcp is used to make an image (exact copy) of a source floppy ....", that would imply to me that it's making a 'bit for bit' copy, which would also take care of higher level dependancies, like the N1 mountable floppy filesystem. I've never actually tried this, but it should work. >-- >Pete Holsberg, Mercer County Community College, Trenton, NJ 08690 >{backbone}!rutgers!njin!princeton!njsmu!mccc!pjh Ed. A.
