yggdrasil summer '94 linux + ftape

by Gre » Mon, 08 Aug 1994 05:56:29

I have the yggdrasil summer '94 edition of linux...it already has
a /dev/ftape device node, and when it boots it displays a message
that "3 buffers allocated for ftape". Do I have to do anything
special to use ftape? Do I still need to re-build my kernel? Or
can I just use it?

1. Yggdrasil Summer 94 to Fall 94 upgrade -- HOW TO???

I have Yggdrasil's Summer 94 running on my 486DX-33 *without* the CD-ROM
(who was asking?) after long hours of setup and fixing problems.
I got the Fall 94 edition CD with X11R6 and so on.

But I can't find any HOW TO upgrade this thing. I am afraid of loosing all
my setup (parameter files etc) and I have no decent means to backup the whole
system (I am not sure if saving /etc and /usr/etc would suffice).

I have alread looked at ftp.yggdrasil.com and there is nothing about it.
No bookstore here has got the Second Edition Bible and I coudn't see anything
about version upgrade in the announcement.

Does anybody know how to do this? Have you acctually done that?

I am sure I am not the only one with this problem, so please post what you know.

Thanks a lot.
