After booting, do not load the addons. At the prompt, mount the CD-ROM:
# mount /cdrom
Now, you will have addons in the directory /cdrom.
Run now setup -f XYZ for each addon: abort when it ask you for a floppy
disk. A this point, Setup ask you for a directory of filename:
write /cdrom/XYZ.tgz.
As alternative:
fdformat /dev/fd0H1722
for each addons
cat /cdrom/XYZ.tgz > /dev/fd0H1772
setup -f XYZ

Ops! Solution 1) is for the last release. You can use solution 2), or
also solution 3)
Solution 3)
# setup -f XYZ from=/cdrom/XYZ.tgz
mmmm .... I suspect a misunderstanding of mine: are you speaking
about mu script ??
