I've done a couple different things to make the CSD available at MIT now. The
first thing I did was make it accessible by nfs. On athena, you can do
attach -n -e sofa:/var/local/os2
I'm trying to get a hesiod locker pointer for /mit/os2sofa, but that won't
happen till after the weekend most likely...
It's also available by anonymous ftp, as sofa:/pub/servpak.
Kent found the answer to the question on everyone's lips, "how do I get this
disk to load on a Unix box instead of using loaddskf?":
o If you wish to create diskettes from MAKEDSKF (.DSK) image files, such as
those contained on the CD-ROM version of OS/2, and you do not wish to use
the DOS and OS/2 utility LOADDSKF, you may use a workstation. For example,
on an IBM RS/6000 or Sun workstation you may use the command:
dd if=(input filename) of=/dev/rfd0 ibs=1b obs=60b conv=sync
