From: rcollins@ns.encore.com (Roger Collins) Subject: Installing from a QIC-40 Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1993 14:23:08 GMT
I bought a QIC-40 tape from someone on the net and tried to install.
I got to a menu where I select what media I was using to install.
I selected "tape," then I got a tar error in a non-English language.
I was able to read the whole tape in with Colorado Memory System's
restore software. I can't imagine that the author of tar used the exact
format as CMS, so I guess the install software is trying to read a CMS
archive as if it were a tar archive on the tape. Am I right?
I have the whole tape image on my hard disk.
How do I either 1. make a tar tape image from DOS? or 2. install with the
tape in its current CMS format?
Oh yeah, I ENJOY getting too many replies to simple questions. So email
'em in.
Thanks.
