I run into one problem: When using the command: tar tf host:/dev/tape I get the error message: rsh: unknown id So how can I get get rsh to see that I am root when booting with a floppy? I tried copying a passwd onto the disk, but that didn't help? Regards, Ulf Schmidt -- Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. --> Ulf Schmidt - us@microtronic.de <---
