Message-ID: <11258@ncar.ucar.edu> Date: 2 May 91 16:12:50 GMT Sender: news@ncar.ucar.edu Organization: NCAR/Atmospheric Chemistry Division Lines: 9 (Re: AIX3.1.5) We need to be able to do a network installation and are trying to set it up so that the directory /inst.images/risc_sys6000/3.1 contains the proper files as described on page 70 of the Installation Guide for AIX version 3 (3.1.5). I can do a "restore -xf /dev/rmt0.1" and it begins to create an entire directory structure with ./etc, ./bin, etc. This is *not* what I want. I simply want to create ./bos.obj, ./Xrte, ./bosnet, etc. Can anyone provide any clues? Thanks in advance. --Tim
