I have installed the 85 or so disks of the 1.2 distribution well over
ten times (yes, TEN) and the updates I have swapped in and out and
in and out and in and out more times than I care to remember. My
machine is still sitting idle. The only solution left seems to be
installation of a TCF cluster from our 4381. At least we
have tapes, rather than a million disk swaps. However, that is
not going well either.
Is there anybody out there who has gotten 1.2 to work from the floppies?
With TCP/IP? With TCF? Is there a light at the end of this tunnel?
Should I go back to 1.1 forever? Will IBM ever distribute on streaming
tape?
