Hi good folks !

We want to install the netbsd on our new computer (in addition to
a Dos partition). We want to istall from tape and have a quick question :

Can the 'binary' and 'source' distribution sets be all put on the
tape in ONE tar-file or does each part (base09, etc09,....;..ksrc09,src09...)
need to be in a separate tar-files on the same tape ?

Creating the installation floppies, do we have to format them first, or
do we just send the output to the floppy ?


We really appriciate your help.
Thanks very much !
Norman
