On the SunOS installation, which category would contain /usr/lib/fonts? I'm trying to install a minimum operating system, but I need the fonts.

On my SunOS 3.5 distribution tapes, it is on tape 2, file 6, which corresponds to the "/usr" files. I suppose it will be the same for SunOS 4.x (although the tape and file numbers will differ). You can easily verify that by doing a "tar -tf /dev/nrst0" of your distribution tapes.

For minimalization, this makes it easy to find any given little file you think you want. Saving all the tar contents takes up about .6 Meg. Dale Mensch-Xerox Corp/Intran Operation.-Mpls.
