Linux-installer 0.1c

Linux-installer 0.1c

[Alex deVries]

I've merged the root-be-0.03 with Linux-installer 0.1 to make 0.1c.

I know the filesystem works, I don't know about the installer and I can't
do that until I have another disk to install on.

Hi Alex,

Running the installer with root-be-0.03 gives me the following:

cjwsh>cpio root-be-0.03.cpio
error -2 reading header: Error 0

and kicks me back to the root prompt.  When I did it with
root-be-0.01.cpio, it seemed to execute without a hitch.

Alright.  0.1d is created with --format=newc, which appears to actually be
the correct format. You can get it in
ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/mips-linux/GettingStarted/ .

Sorry for the delay...

I know very little about cpio, but I suspect that if you used GNU cpio on
Irix it would have worked.
