Ok, I just got my cdrom installation to a disk drive (finally after
trying many combinations since my drive was just slightly shorter than 520MB).
Now I want to copy it all over to a 504MB drive minus 10MB for the DOS
partition at the front. What is the best way to copy from the large drive?
Email reply appreciated. Thanks.
Dale

I've just received a CD-ROM for the first time. I don't have any dedicated hardware available for file or cpu servers, and am hoping to use u9fs as a file server on a Unix machine which has lots of other things to do to.
My computer centre copied the CD-ROM onto a Solaris Sun for me, but all the files lack the appropriate filenames, ownerships, and permissions.
I have compiled u9fs, but am unsure whether it's configured properly.
I hope to correct the file names by borrowing a CD-ROM drive, running 9sscd on my Sparc ELC, and writing the corrected information to u9fs. A quick look at the code for u9fs (to an untrained eye) suggests it obeys wstat syscalls.
In the mean time, I want to get the floppy 9dos version working. (I don't want to ask my computer centre to install a privileged program without checking it out first, so I've got the server running on my [Solaris] Sun with read-only access to the partition holding the files.)
I'm using a 486dx2/66 with a 3c509 ethernet card.
By comparing the floppy versions of /rc/bin/termrc and /lib/ndb/local with those copied off the CD-ROM I've discovered the need to add my pc's ethernet and ip address to local, and to send 'add tcp udp il' to /net/cs. When I try telnet, however, I get timed out, and when I try running arpd with debugging or check /net/arp/stats, I get only misses, no hits.
Any hints what I should look for? Should I try snooping the ethernet to see what packets are really there? Or is there yet another subtle something I've missed in the way things are supposed to work.
