I'm in what I expect is a fairly common quandry among new slab owners...
I bought the 105MB system plus the 2.1 extended on floppies because I
knew I could get more disk cheaper from a 3rd-party supplier. My station
arrived Wednesday, and I have a 660MB fuji + Wangdat arriving Tuesday.
Everythings cool, except for one little wrinkle: 8-} the 2.1 extended on
floppies is backordered (and the campus pc center says that there are
folks who got everything else in January who are *still* waiting for their
floppies.)
Hey, no problem: I just need to find somebody with the full 2.1 release
and copy the stuff, right? Well, sure, except I don't know exactly what
the files are... (I know what they do, but not the complete name of each
file...)
So... Has anyone out there actually used a NeXT with the full 2.1
release to build the full release on a NeXTstation+105MB+3rd-party-disk?
How about building the "extended" release into a tar.Z file? Are there
instructions for doing this at any of the archive sites? (purdue, etc.)
(I've looked, honest, but I don't have the disk space to ftp down all
the stuff and *really* rummage through it...) If no one has yet written
up instructions, is there anybody out there in net.land who could?
a million thanks in advance...

Sorry, I don't have the answer. I was just asking to post it to the net instead of e-mailing, as this is a pretty common question among me and a couple of people I know. Thanks. Jeff -- jeffo@uiuc.edu
