I am in trouble. My pc/xt hard disk went bad and with it the latest version of Minix (1.5.10 from net starting from 1.3). I am almost dreaming about doing it again, hence some questions. I tried to use the cdif(s) from plains.nodak.edu archive from directory /pub/Minix/updates/pc1.5/* (which seem to be copy of the information on sirius.ucs.adeleide.edu.au in directory /pub/minix/upgrades/1.5/*) which are supposed to be diffs with respect to 1.3 version. It does not work as the diffs are really mangled. I would like to know: 1) Has anybody used them straight under Minix 1.3 and what was the result? 2) Is there any other archive that has the diffs for 1.5 version that can be applied to 1.3 code in a single step? Any help will be greatly appreciated. - ishwar (rattan@frith.msu.edu)
