for those of you with MS-DOS systems who read the
INSTALLATION file for the 386BSD dist on agate.berkeley.edu,
and were disappointed, because you couldn't get it running straight
from DOS, read on....

In agate:~ftp/pub/386BSD/INSTALLATION you describe how to get the
binary images onto disks using dd under SunOS.  There is a utility
"rawrite" that will do the same thing under MS-DOS.  The source,
binary, and documentation are in the files rawrite.c, rawrite.exe, and
rawrite.doc in the directory tsx-11.mit.edu:~ftp/pub/linux/INSTALL and
at banjo.concert.net:~ftp/pub/Linux/mirrors/mit.mirror/INSTALL (where
they are provided for the similar purpose of installing the linux OS).
I think it would be a great service to the millions of people who have
access to DOS but not to SunOS if you put these files in the 386BSD
distribution and mentioned them in the installation instructions.

Thank you for all your effort,
al
