I have a question about doing a Genera installation.  I'm doing a re-install
of genera and I'm getting stuck on restoring the distribution worlds from
CDROM.  It's chapter six of the Genera 8.3 installation guide.  Step 1 says:
"Insert the Genera 8.3 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive at your site.  Type the
CP command Select Activity FEP-Tape.  In the FEP-Tape activity, type the
command: Read Image File"

I can't figure out how to get into the FEP-Tape activity.  I think that I'm
supposed to be in the FEP prompt and type "Select Activity FEP-Tape" or use
the "Select" key as some kind of key-combination to do this, but it's a
little unclear in the installation guide.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

   --Bruce

CP is the Command Processor. If you have Genera running,
log in and type Select Activity FEP-Tape to a Listener.

The FEP is below that (something like LILO or OpenPROM).
The Command Processor (the Listener) runs when
you have started a Lisp Listener.

Rainer,

Thanks for the help.  I thought it might be something like that.  I'm still
getting my bearings with Genera, but I'm having fun figuring it out.

Best regards,

                        --Bruce

        http://fare.tunes.org/LispM.html has some information about
Symbolics Lisp Machines, including a few paragraphs on setting up a
MacIvory.
