If you mean, "Can you install files to an A/UX Usr partition w/ the
installer," the answer is yes. You have to mount it using the mini-shell,
but yes, it works. BTW, are the error messages for mount in the
mini-shell fixed? It used to be that when the mount point was
nonexistant, it complained about the device (i.e. not a macbsd partition)
and when it wasn't a ffs/ufs/whatever partition, it complained about the
mount point, but that's been a while. :-)
