This I'm sure works quite dandy under UNIX systems that have separate
filesystems for "root" (/) and "usr" (/usr/spool/news), but the default
for SCO Xenix is to install with *one* file system. Therein lies the
problem ... you cannot conviently "mkfs" and restore. This is the 
same problem I am currently facing ... I think the only solution 
will be to mount my root floppy disk, edit the "mkfs" part of the
installation scripts, and then reinstall using the modified version.
If anyone has a better idea for SCO, I'm sure John and I are not the
only ones in this boat and would like to hear any ideas.
