Hello world! We are a group of hackers who are fed up with having to work under DOS at home and wish to use minix. we have already bought minix PC1.3, and have used net updates to reach 1.5.3. We are having problems getting beyond this (eg unsharing goes wrong/bad checksums/ liborder is screwed up etc etcc.....) seeing as we all have interests other than hacking (studying for instance!) we do not particularly wish to re-invent the wheel - that is to say:- DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE PC MINIX 1.5.10 UP AND RUNNING???? (ie all checksums correct etc etc.) If you have the above much desired item, then please mail (or post?) how we can obtain it from you. Posting the updates from 1.3 to 1.5.10 would be very inconvienient. snailmailing a stack of floppy disks is more what we are thinking of - ie a stack of disks with the updates you used, or better, ak 1.3-->1.5.10 kit. If you are worried about copyright, then we can snailmail a copy of the MINIX 1.3 purchase receipt. If you are worried about postage and disks, then please let us know how much this will cost you and we can send Eurocheques/postal orders/international money orders/cash/gold bars etc. to cover these costs. thanks very much in advance Andrew Miller -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- email: windy@strange.informatik.rwth-aachen.de snail: Ruetscherstr 165 D-5100 Aachen voice: 0049 (0)241 894-355 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hate paper, especially paper with source code on it!
