I am trying to rebuild my A/UX system. To save time, I'm trying to copy A/UX from an external disk on loan from my Apple dealer (In fact, it would only take a couple of hours to install from tape, and I've spent a couple of days so far, trying to copy it from disk, but that's life...) It has been suggested that I use dd from sash, but I can't find an appropriate set of arguments to make it work. I have tried commands such as the obvious dd if=/dev/dsk/c5d0s0 of=/dev/dsk/c0d0s0 and dd if=(5,0,0)/ of=(0,0,0)/ but dd complains that it can't create the output file. I know I'm doing something wrong, but the documentation is of little help. Any ideas (other than loading from tape)? Huw Davies Thought for the day: I thought I'd learn a lot from A/UX, but if it were VMS I could fix it
