The process for making the tape image is:
- get s2.tar.gz from TUHS PDP11 distributions (under research)
- extract somewhere like /tmp/s2 (if elsewhere, you must edit
tools/mktape.py)
- build a tape with the files you want:
tools/mktape.py /tmp/s2/bin/* /tmp/s2/etc/*
you can add any files you want, but it will make up uid/permission
for files it doesnt "know" about. It has a table of files and
permissions baked into it that came from the TUHS archive. The
tool strips off "/tmp/s2" from the paths right now, so if you put
s2 in a different location you'll have to alter that path or you'll
have to build the tape from within that subdirectory using relative
paths.
