This subject has probably been beaten to death, but anway: A friend of mine recently purchased Minix 1.3 for his PC AT. Anyway, he wants to upgrade to 1.5.3. Specifically: What does he need? (1.4.0 files? 1.5.0 files? 1.5.3 files?) Where can he get them? (Anonymous FTP site?) Actually, since the 1.5.3 stuff was just posted, I know where to get that. But it says you need 1.5.0, so he needs those. Does he need 1.4.0 also? Direct all Email replies to me.
