Well, I successfully manages to toast two of my NeXTstations.

"No Problem", i thought.  
"There is this wonderful program called BuildDisk", i thought.  
"I'll netboot my NeXTStations off a cube, and reinstall the system on
	the disk using BuildDisk", i thought.

WRRRONGGG!!!!

To my horror, there is no BLD.105, or anything even remotely close
to that in /etc!  Naturalment, BuildDisk choked magnificiently since
even with the utmost in vim, vigour, and magnesium, it is plenty difficult
to stuff  371057KB on a 102400KB disk.....  In short, it didna work.

So, How exactly does one go about reinstalling the system on a 105 MB disk?

This is really a pretty important question since I need to install systems on about 10 "virgin" Quantum 105s.


Or, am i missing something incredibly glaringly totally obvious (lie an
app called Build_105MB_Disk???  Wouldn't be the first time!!)


Thanx for any responses...
