I want to upload the minix distribution disks onto my sun386i (which has a
3 1/2" floppy drive).

If I run readfs onto msdos, I'll loose some information (permissions and 14
char file names).

Is it reasonable to:
	1) save the image of the disk in a DOS file (does anyone have a tool to do
this?)
	2) ftp the files onto the sun.
	3) run a sun-based copy of readfs to unpacked the file systems.

Any better ideas?

I'm not really running much minix stuff right now -- I don't have enough
hard disk space to run somethink like tar -cvf disk3.tar /dev/at0.
