OFFICE MEMO HTML & ATAPI part 3 Date:12/28/95
Thanks for the tip on lynx, which is now part of my plan. I still have a
catch 22: need the documentation to get the drive working, but need the drive
to install the package to read the documentation. Since I have no direct
internet connection, I can't download the package to FreeBSD. My only option
presently is to stage it from DOS. But that results in different file naming
from what the package makefiles expect.
I conclude from the lack of advice on ATAPI that I have an unsupported device.
So I need a work around installing packages by way of DOS. Needed is a
utility that takes a package subtree copied over from DOS and applies the
tables, restoring the long file names. Does such a thing exist? Otherwise,
I'll write one.
Thanks.
Cheers!
