|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B Mkdist
|
|
makes a MINIX 3 distribution on floppies. Run the command as
|
|
.B root
|
|
and follow the instructions. It will make one or two bootable installation
|
|
floppies and a compressed tar file of
|
|
.B /usr
|
|
on several floppies using
|
|
.BR vol (1).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The result can be installed on another system as described in
|
|
.BR usage (8),
|
|
except that all of
|
|
.B /usr
|
|
is saved on one set of floppies instead of being nicely split in binary
|
|
and source packages.
