[comp.os.minix] 1.5.5 kernel update problems

fredriks@cbnewse.ATT.COM (lars.fredriksen) (03/08/90)

Hi!
	It seems to me that Andy goofed when he sent out 1.5.5!
The kernel cdifs are against 1.5.3, and NO one except for the
Beta test group has 1.5.3 to my knowledge(correct me if I am
wrong). So trying to update the 1.5.0 kernel to 1.5.5 with
the cdifs Andy posted is useless!

	I suppose we either have to wait until Andy comes back,
or some of the Beta testers may be able to send cdiffs agains
(missed a t there) 1.5.0. (I don't know if Andy would appreciate
such a solution, since He alone has the OFFICIAL version)

	Sincerely
	Lars Fredriksen

No, you are right.  The 1.5.3 kernel diffs never made it to the net.  Gack!

I can't see the harm in someone posting 1.5.0 -> 1.5.5 kernel diffs if
their 1.5.0 and 1.5.5 kernel sources match the relevent "official" crc's.

Then again, maybe the Good Doctor's flight to Rio hasn't left yet. :-)
How about a repost, Dr. T?
