I am new to the Minix world. I have 1.3 on 360K 5 1/4" floppies. I need help please on getting the sources onto dos diskettes so that I can transfer them (via TeleMate telecommunications package zmodem) onto bsd4.3/encore/multimax/unix where I have the 1.5.10 diffs/patches/pam to apply there. I have high-density drives, once Minix is booted on the a:\floppy, every time I access a command it reads drive a: to find the executable so I can not place a second blank 5 1/4" in drive a: to copy a file to, once I remove the disk I lose the path location for the exe- cutable to be used by the operating system. Can I mount the files onto the hard-drive and then copy the sources to there and copy to drive a: from their. I already installed the hd_fdsk boot upgrade program and it loaded onto the hard drive but wouldn't boot from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. chuck -- - - - - - - - - - Chuck Boyer, ITS, Seattle University boyer@sumax.seattleu.edu - - - - - - - - -
