IT WORKS!!!!!
Thank you for the tip using epp-mode. I forced the check of this kind of
configuration .... and I wondered, because an older computer there where no
such problems.
I set up the bios-options and use the new ftape4.x_1999-11_09, editing the
insert-script and all works fine :-) Nothing special epp-options to do in
the kernel-config :-)
There are still some questions:
Can I also read old dos-tools-archives?
Now I would like to make the tool a little bit more comfortable. How can I
get information, how much time of backup are spent and left or how much
megabytes are left. I also think of large files (500MB) where the tar cvf
-command only says, that there is a backup in process... Maybe there is a
fine kde-tool, that manage this?! Is there a special option in vmstat or
top, .... ?
