Rsync and Resource File Stripping on Mac OS X: Partially Successful

[Kevin Alexander Boyd]

Hi again,

Not being able to boot and missing resource forks are two separate issues
- can you perform an

# ls -l */rsrc

on a directory with files that should contain resource data?  If you see
resource data, then rsync has succeeded (we use it exclusively here, and
it works great).

As far as booting goes, have a look at:

http://xnews.soad.umich.edu/mirror/Putting%20your%20loadset%20onto%20many%20machines%20using%20RsyncX.doc

This should give you a good starting place, but discussion should be held
in a group other than this one.

Let me know how all progresses, and Good Luck!
