Kramer) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.misc Subject: InstallHD & Prod_prep (WB 2.03) Message-ID: Date: 5 Jun 91 07:06:20 GMT Reply-To: sjk@aura.nbn.com Distribution: comp Organization: sjk at home Lines: 35 Hello, The A3000Install:InstallHD script (updated for 2.03) contains the lines: echo "Updating Rigid Disk Block (filesystem)." A3000Install:Prod_prep >NIL: Unit 6 layout A3000Install:PrepUpScript and PrepUpScript ("Up" as in "Update"?) contains: readrdb readfs l:fastfilesystem version 103 dostype 0x444f5301 reselect off writerdb quit Is this non-destructive to user data currently on SCSI drive unit 6? Gee, I wonder what was changed/fixed in FastFileSystem. Oh, is there doc on Prod_prep available? If I pay CATS $75? Minor nits: InstallHD doesn't delete the older versions of the commodity programs which now reside in the Tools/Commodities drawer (hmm, the Exchange program is in Utilities, not Tools). Would have been nice for the script to save originals of normally-user-modified files such as DEVS:MountList and S:Startup-sequence. Not that I expect to be running InstallHD again anytime soon... Tnx! -- Scott J. Kramer UUCP: {sun,ucbvax}!pixar!aura!sjk P.O. Box 3392 Internet: sjk@aura.nbn.com San Rafael, CA 94912
