From: mcbeeb@jacobs.CS.ORST.EDU (Brian Mcbee) Subject: A couple of problems... Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1992 05:40:24 GMT
I have been hacking on linux now for a couple of weeks,
with almost uniformly good results. I have poe-IGL,
shoelace, mtools, and most other patches etc installed.
I do have two problems though:
1- I am unable to use 720k disks in my 1.44 meg 3.5 inch
drive. I have tried all the likely looking minor
device numbers. Anyone else get this to work?
2- How do people backup their systems? Trying to create
a large tar file either on floppies or to a disk file
almost inevitably locks up my system. A known
problem? Maybe fixed in 0.13? :-)
