Question for the HPUX guys

I'm not familiar with COPYUTIL and don't recall seeing in on the 10.20 CD. I'll have another look. I've already made a TAR of the entire file system onto tape so, it should be possible to recover almost any files that might get hosed. Of course in order to UN-TAR those files, the system has got to be up and running. Unfortunately, HPUX does not support IGNITE and from what I can tell, the 8.0 version of SAM won't allow me to create a bootable disk. I have searched docs.hp.com and there's lots of info for 10.20 and 11.00 but, nothing that goes back to 8.0. OK... Here's another possibility... What if I make a bootable disk using IGNITE 10.20 (I have a second 832 running 10.20), mount the disk, and then UN-TAR everything from tape on to that disk? NOTE: The biggest reason for not upgrading to 10.20 is that I don't have the ANSI C compiler for 10.20. There's plenty of downloadable software available but, virtually none of it will run without compiling first. It's a real catch-22 situation. You gotta have the C compiler in order to compile a C compiler like GCC. If I'm not mistaken, HP lists the compiler for $1595. I do have the ANSI C compiler for 8.0 so, it's a lot easier to get software to run on that box. Anyone know of an alternate source for the compiler?
