Is there a way to copy the install diskettes to the tape for add on
packages?  I've now had to deal with 3 cases of losing everything
on a 386 hard disk (from various forms of abuse, but the disks worked
after a low-level format).  Anyway, it takes at least half a day to
get the machine back in service, especially since the FACE system
backup skips most of the installed packages.
I'd like to see a way to copy all the add-on package floppies onto a
tape so you could re-install en mass.  The install procedure could
just copy each disk image off the tape before using it.
