I'm trying to run an Oracle installation from a remote tape drive.

The install program looks for a local device (eg. /dev/rst0) to read from.

I've been told the way to go is with a named pipe. (If there's a better/easier way to do it, I'd gladly accept that :-)

Can someone please help me with setting up and using a named pipe.

        thanks much, -chris- Received on Tue Aug 17 1993 - 22:05:19 CEST
