Just received a new HR10-250 and want to upgrade HDDs. I've done the mfsbackup and mfsrestore sucessfully. But I've forgotten how to do the TPIP step (have done it over 2 years ago). So I really appreciate any help on this....

I have a floppy where the TPIP files are located. When I looki in the floppy, this is the path to the file: TPIP/TPIP-1.2/file names (tpip.tivo, tpip.c, README, tpip, tpip.static, RELEASE_NOTES, tpip.man, tpip.txt)

After booting from CD-ROM, this is the command I do (I'm no expert at Linux/Unix)

mkdir -p /mnt/floppy (success)
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy (success)
cd /tmp (sucess)

tar xzvf /mnt/floppy/tpip.tar.gz tpip-1.2/tpip (keep telling me file not found. But I don't think I need to do this step, since it looks like the files are already extracted to the floppy)

So then I try /tmp/tpip-1/2/tpip -1 -s /dev/hdc (not sucessful)


I guess what I need to do is run the tpip directly from the floppy, or copy it to tmp and run it from there. But I don't know what to do. Please help.

Thank you,

/Tony

cp /mnt/floppy/tpip /tmp
/tmp/tpip

Depending on how the file was copied to the floppy you may need chmod a=rwx /tmp/tpip in order to make it executable
