<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>mkdist</STRONG>
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>Mkdist</STRONG> makes a Minix distribution on floppies. Run the command as <STRONG>root</STRONG>
and follow the instructions. It will make one or two bootable
installation floppies and a compressed tar file of <STRONG>/usr</STRONG> on several
floppies using <STRONG><A HREF="../man1/vol.1.html">vol(1)</A></STRONG>.
The result can be installed on another system as described in <STRONG><A HREF="../man8/usage.8.html">usage(8)</A></STRONG>,
except that all of <STRONG>/usr</STRONG> is saved on one set of floppies instead of being
nicely split in binary and source packages.
