Subject: bffcreat questions
Date: 16 Dec 92 21:41:21 GMT
Organization: IBM Austin


   I am developping a software product and I would be able to install it
   by using standard AIX 3.2 installation commands (installp & bffcreate).
   My product (named LPPNAME) is a collection of options (named
   LPPOPTIONs) included in a unique installation BFF format file. When
   bffcreate command is used with the tape containing my product, a unique
   file is created. The name of this image is LPPNAME.usr.1.0.0.0.

   How can I add a new LPPOPTION to my product ? If I deliver a tape
   containing only this LPPOPTION, bffcreate will override the previous
   file. If I deliver a tape containing all the LPPOPTIONs, a lot of place
   will be wasted and I will have to change the LPPNAME level.

   How can I change only one LPPOPTION installation level, and avoid the
   same problem ?

   If I want to build a BFF file for each LPPOPTION of my product, how can
   I avoid to override the image file when using bffcreate (the name of
   the file created does not contain the LPPOPTION) ?

   When building an update BFF format file containing several PTFs, how
   can I get several files as a result of the bffcreate command ? If it is
   not possible, why the name of the created file indicates only the PTF
   number of the FIRST PTF on the tape ?

Thanks

I've used Bekins, North American and United (twice - from Dallas to SC and
SC to Austin) and have been happy with both N.A. and United.  The United
move from Dallas to SC was almost perfect, having less damage than I've 
ever heard of before.  During the move from SC to Austin, much glassware, 
electronic equipment and some furniture sustained damage, but United 
cheerfully paid to have it repaired/fixed, for the most part.  

The damage in transit has mainly to do with the people who pack your things. 
The packers are supplied by the local United(or other) agency/affiliate.  The
ones they sent to pack my things in SC were very religious and very, very 
disapproving of me and my lifestyle (I know because they told me and 
discussed my wickedness within earshot).  ;-)  They came very close to
refusing to pack my little chinese fortune gods and buddhist statues.  They 
found the Ouija board in the cabinet with my games and turned white.  I ended
up packing the games.  ;-)  The "wicked" statues that they did pack, were 
not packed well and they crashed into my grandmother's McCoy teapot,
destroying the lid, during transit (United didn't pay for that).  I almost
had to leave the liquor (these were unopened bottles), including the 
special old wine that I had kept for years.  When the driver arrived, I 
complained to him about the packers and he told me to just put whatever
I wanted (that they hadn't packed) in a box, inside a plastic bag, very
well padded and seal it and give it to him.  I did, but you know, I still
can't find that wine.  ;-)  (BTW, state laws on xportation of liquor vary.)

Unfortunately, I was "stuck" with these packers, as the van was due to
arrive the next morning.  My advice to you is to either meet the people who
will be packing for you in advance or insure that they arrive to pack early
enough that you have time to get another group, if they don't work out.
Typically, the drivers work for the national firm and work out of (and are
paid by) one of the affiliates.  The packers have nothing to do with the 
national firm and work strictly for the affiliates.

BTW - during my teenage years I had a lot of experience (because of my 
parents business) with North American transporting furniture for us.  They
always did a wonderful job  -  were almost always on time, with rarely any 
damage.

    -Terra Toys on south congress.  (south of the lake but not as far
     as Oltorf.)  A really neat toy store with lots of unique gifts.
     A really fun place to shop, even if you don't buy anything and
     even if you're an adult.  This is my favorite toy store in austin.

    -Toad Hall.  A children's book store on 38th street, in the 26
     Doors shopping center, just west of Lamar.  This is a really nice
     children's book store with a huge selection.  
     (there are also a couple of other neat children's stores in this
     shopping center.  one is called Rootin' Ridge, and I can't
     remember the name of the other one.  Check them out while you're
     there.)

    -for earrings and the like try Eclectic at 12th street just east
     of  Lamar.  They have lots of hand made earrings (and other
     stuff) there.

hope that helps,
steve

OK, I found the chains - here are the tires they fit:

5.60-13,  AR70-13,  6.00-13,  AR78-13, 6.45-13,  BR78-13,  165R-13,

P165/70R-14,  145R-15,  P165/70R360,  P165/70R365

(It's nice to see that there is a standardized format for specifying
tire sizes.)

Anybody interested in these?  I don't need them so I am willing to give
them away.  However, I want give them to somebody who actually needs them.

I put a vote in for Custom Sounds (@ Burnet Rd).  They installed a Clifford

They gave me a package deal on the whole thing, and was pleased overall

I need some help, folks.  I have two sisterx, one is 11, and the other
is 9.  I need to know where I might find some nice Christmas presents for
them.  I've given up on the malls, and am looking for something a little
more unusual.

The older of the two just got her ears pierced, and I thought earrings would
be nice, but all of the stores I've been to have pretty popular designs
that I gather she'll probably have (gold hearts and such).  Her Mom won't
let her wear long hanging types, so I'm looking for something small, and
perhaps hand made or artsy-craftsy.  Any ideas?

The younger girl has a Nintendo, but I more or less refuse to get her
another game unless it's a last resort.  She's beyond the "Waldo" sort of
books I've gotten her previously, but still a little young for something
like "Babysitter's Club."  I've gone for stuffed animals in the past (all
formerly young girls I've asked say this is a sure bet), but I'm running
out of new ideas.  I did see a huge stuffed Holstein (i.e. 3' long and 2'
high) at the mall, but it was $150, a little out of my price range :-)

So, do any of you more experienced children's shoppers out there have any
ideas?  I've only had these sisters for 2 years, so I'm still learning how
to shop for them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sure, I use Linux with XFree on a 486 w/8MB.  It seemed fairly easy

Any recommendations for a good Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor?  *_Surgeon_*

anti-venon) for an unspecified number of years, with entirely disclaimed and
similarly unspecified results; I'd like to get a second opinion from someone
who can look at solutions not tied to recurring charges and years' worth of
perscriptions.

I realize medicine is still an inexact (in the extreme) science.  I'm not
looking for a one-shot panacea - just a second opinion from a different

Yes.  I'm running 386bsd on my 486.  It's running with two IDE drives
(80 MB Quantum/200 MB WD Caviar), a SCSI drive (AHA1542B controller,
Maxtor LXT340SY drive), an internal modem, SVGA, 8 MB memory.  All works
well.  I have X386 running as well, and while it's a tad slow (because
of the card, a Trident 8900C), it still does the job.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it, but of course I got the setup to get
back into kernel hacking, which I have been away from for a while.  I
wouldn't really recommend 386bsd to someone that wants a turnkey system,
but for a student or kernel hacker such as myself, it's great.  It has
the added advantage (over Linux) that it's real Un*x, being based on the
Berkeley Net/2 release.  So you get real Unix internals knowledge while
you have fun debugging 386bsd.  Linux was developed entirely independently.

One thing:  I've heard of a lot of problems installing 386bsd.  I experienced
none.  It installed like a dream, once I figured out what to do and once
I got the distribution down to my system.  You really do need to apply all
the patches in the unofficial patchkit, though, including some extra drivers
that people have contributed.  I'm running add-on com and SCSI drivers.
If you run 386bsd, be prepared to learn about the kernel:  you'll have to
to make it work.  Not recommended for naive users.

Overall, considering what I paid for the software (zero), and that I get
full source for a real Un*x, 386bsd gets my recommendation.  Three stars.
