Yes. There is plenty of space (34%, 23%, and 4% full in /, /usr and
/opt).
I just made a third copy of the diskette and used the AW51E that hosts
that node to do a Remote Install, and that time it worked. I guess the
two other floppies were corrupted, even though one of them worked 18
times, and I never even used the other one.
Am I the only one who *hates* Install_WP? Can we get a software
installation environment that isn't designed to use software media that
reached its height of popularity in 1988?

Tim,
Did you check disk free space on that problem WP ?

Objet=3DA0: [foxboro] Software Install workaround?
I was installing the DST quick fix for FoxView 9.0.1 on all 19 WP51D and
B consoles here at the refinery, and after 18 successful installs, the
19th one would not work. After it asks for the first floppy, it reads
it, and then asks you to eject it. Then an error message pops up saying
that there was an error reading the media, and to check for disk space,
other processes, etc. I tried using a different floppy diskette with
the same data on it, assigning the floppy drive to that of a WP51D that
had already successfully installed, and using the "Remote Install"
function from another WP51 that had already successfully installed.
Same error every time. This WP51D just doesn't like whatever is on this
floppy.

So, I tried to run tar tvf /dev/fd0 to read what was on the floppy, and
of course, it executed that command with no problem.

My question is, is there some sneaky TAC way of doing software installs
where you don't have to use the Install_WP "graphical interface", such
as it is, and swap floppies? Since the floppies apparently work,
couldn't I tar them onto the hard drive and run some magical TAC script
that will do the install?
