that you remember to put CKSUMS, do_cksum.sh, and extract.sh files
in this directory as well!
If you wish to install multiple *dist releases from one tape, do the
following:
1. cd to the parent directory of the distributions and put them on tape
like so:
tar cvf /dev/rwt0 (or /dev/rst0) bindist srcdist ...
2. Install the first distribution on the tape using the tape installation
method as normal. Afterwards, *do not* erase the contents of the temporary
directory. Get a shell with ESC-ESC and cd to the temporary directory
yourself. For each additional *dist you want to load, cd to its
subdirectory and type `sh ./extract.sh'.
5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
