- Defending Terry, I guess I wasn't obvious enough in my email to Chris@agate
- that the version of the patchkit in incoming was NOT for distribution.
- The reason for Terry's name in the kit is because he wrote the thing.
- However, that does not mean that he is responsible for it's co-ordination
- and release.
-
-
- Now, after adding some more patches and fixing a couple bugs in
- the installation/removal of the 500+ patches, (minor documentation
- and spelling fixes also), the new version is now OFFICIALLY released.
-
- I would recommend getting the new version, since it contains some
- important fixes.

-
- That is/was my goal for this kit, and the accompanying boot disks. I
- have had a couple minor bugs that are in it, but so far what I have
- heard has been very good. (Nothing was broken)
-
- Thanks everyone, and please try it out,
-
