NAME

     mkdist - make a MINIX 3 distribution


SYNOPSIS

     mkdist


DESCRIPTION

     Mkdist makes a MINIX 3 distribution on  floppies.   Run  the
     command  as  root and follow the instructions.  It will make
     one or two bootable installation floppies and  a  compressed
     tar file of /usr on several floppies using vol(1).

     The result can be installed on another system  as  described
     in  usage(8), except that all of /usr is saved on one set of
     floppies instead of being nicely split in binary and  source
     packages.


SEE ALSO

     tar(1), compress(1), vol(1), usage(8).


NOTES

     Also very useful for making backups.
