Yes, you can, top get to the second dump,. you can use forward-space-file

			mt -f <no-rewind-devicename> fsf

but this is horribly slow.  You actually need the new DDS stuff with
fast-seek which we believe is in 4.1.

We don't want to be upstaged by VMS, do we ?   8)

Yes you can, you need to fool 'setld' but it's a bit complex to put
here.  (I have got a more efficient method than this, but it's a
horrible hack)

Simply follow the installation procedure as if you were gonna make a
separate /usr area for the clients.  When you have got it working, then
edit the /etc/fstab to pull the REAL (server) /usr on each of the
clients.  At this point, you can delete the temporary /usr.  Helps if
your server is the same sort of thing as your client (we have 5830's
serving 2100's.  We have to check the files for UWS are all there.  The
5830's differ by only *4* files from the UWS distribution.  Just find
them (do a recursive 'diff' against the temporary /usr) - needle in
haystack job)
