[lug] Errors with BRU

[Chip Atkinson]

If you can tar cvf /dev/st0 /home (or whatever), and can write tapes, 
you have scsi tape support.  From the error message, it appears that the 
command mt is not found.  On my older RH installation, mt is in /bin. 
mt controls mag tape operation.  Try installing it and see if you get 
the message.  I have used bru in the past and been quite happy with it.
