Another tape-related question: The SLS installation script offers
installation from tape. Is this from QIC-Floppycontroler tape or only
SCSI tape, and how does the installation work ? Just to tar the whole
SLS directory tree onto the tape and then boot from the bootdisk and
say "installation from tape" will hardly do the job, I suppose ?
Do I need a special form of the SLS package, and if so, where can I
get it ?
