[H-GEN] sparc fest

[Michael Anthon]

Yep, was using the fdisk on the RH4.2 Sparc boot disk.
Looks like I missed some mail today re the interest in joining me at work. 
 I did go, but it would have been a waste of time.  I spent all day trying 
to transfer about 150M from one external SCSI disk to another (bigger one) 
without a cable to allow me to have them both plugged in at the same time 
and without any spare disk space on the machine I had to use.  I ended 
doing it by ftping all the stuff to another machine, then getting it back 
onto the new disk the same way.

Anyway, I will be going back tomorrow to try again.  The offer is still 
open, but if anyone does want to come, email me at work 
(anthonm at tams.com.au) and here for the details.

Looks like it's way past my bedtime... again
