- Finally!
-
- The next version of the patchkit is available from
- agate.berkeley.edu:/pub/incoming/nate/patchkit-0.2.tar.Z,
-
- until Chris moves it to:
- /pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/patch-kit/patchkit-0.2.tar.Z
-
- where it will stay until the next person updates it.
-
- This version is a much stabler version than the old version (no
- fault of Terry's, but I've had way too much time to fix bugs :-)
-
- Along with the patchkit is a copy of the installation disk (Tiny 386BSD)
- and fixit disks which contains the new fdbootblk patches for Gateway
- machines and Compaq's and the new kernel with all of the new patches
- installed (expect the WD ethernet drivers ones).
-
- This version is a MUCH stabler version than 0.1, as that has been my
- goal for this version. There are many bug-fixes that have not been
- incorporated into this version, but I think that all of those that
- have helped to maintain stability of the system.
-
- There is one patch that I didn't get into the kit, and will hopefully
- follow in a short time, which affects the stability, but I wanted this
- one "OUT THE DOOR" first.
-
- *********NOTE********
- To update to this version from the old patchkit (0.1), you will need to
- completely un-install all of the previous patches from the old kit, and
- remove the old patchkit from your hard-drive. (Or move it where it won't
- be found by the new program). If you have made local changes, I'm
- sorry, but there wasn't an easy way to upgrade from the old version.
-
- Read all of the docs, and hopefully it will be a painless upgrade.
-
- Any questions on the patchkit, etc., can be mailed to me.
-
- Enjoy,
-
- Nate
