-- MakeLispFloppies.doc -- Instructions for building Floppies for installing Interlisp-D on 1108s -- last edited 22-Apr-84 11:29:00 by Masinter.PA -- keep versions uptodate for Fugue6 release -- filed at [Phylum/Rose]<Lisp>Current>MakeLispFloppies.doc -- Follow these instructions if running in Mesa 10.0 Tajo or Copilot. To execute these commands, make sure the insertion point is in the executive window (by clicking left mouse button in Executive window). Then, while holding the "Copy" key down, select the command you want to execute (including the "return" at the end of line.) When you let up on Copy, the command will be "unread" the Executive input buffer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Getting Started ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Before you transfer files, you should have approximate 6000 pages in your volume to contain all the files. If you want to keep the files separate, you can work on separate directory to keep files in one place, for example: Create Floppy -- creates a new directory push Floppy -- puts the directory on your search path (like Connect) -- alternatively, you can do this on a separate volume, e.g.: Open Lisp/w -- open Lisp volume Create <Lisp> -- create a directory on Lisp volume push <Lisp> -- put <Lisp> on search path ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- bring over files for making Installation Utility and Diagnostics Files ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ftp Rose directory/c Mesa>10.0>tools retrieve/a<> MakeDLionBootFloppyTool.bcd ftp Rose directory/c Mesa>10.0>basics retrieve/a<> TajoDLion.boot -- More Mesa files for installing on floppy. ftp Rose directory/c Apilot100>Microcode>Public retrieve/a<> FloppyInitial.db Mesa.db MoonBoot.db ftp Rose directory/c Apilot100>Pilot>Public retrieve/a<> DLion.germ -- Following file is "Prometheus" utility for installing software from floppies.
