[comp.unix.i386] Cloning an AIX PS/2

kevin@msa3b.UUCP (Kevin P. Kleinfelter) (09/06/89)

I have AIX PS/2 installed on one machine.  I want to make
an EXACT copy of that machine onto another one.  I have been
told (in an IBM CLASS) that "all you do is install on the new machine
from a tape backup".  (All the core O/S install disks are is a backup
of some seminal machine.)

This is lovely in theory, but in practice the install program gives
	"Install from Disk 0 or  Disk 1?" as my choices.

An fgrep of all the files on the install disk does not yield the name
of the file which contains the install prompt, so I surmise that the
install is a binary and not a modifiable shell script.

Anybody know how to "install from a tape backup" on AIX PS/2?
