To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wed, 4 Jan 1995 00:44:23 -0600 (CST) From: "Tim Sahouri" X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 554 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hello, First I wanna thank you for bringing FreeBSD to the world. I'm sure you get hundreds of emails so I'll try to make this short. I ftped everything under the 2.0-FreeBSD directory. I currently run SCO (sorry :) but would like to convert to FreeBSD. I have a 2GB SCSII DAT drive. I've read everything I could get my hands on. But I'm still not sure what to do next. I know I need to create the floppies, but what files/ directories do I move to the tape. And, wht do I use, tar or cpio? Please advice, and thanx in advance. Tim Sahouri
