I got 1.1 Minix from a distribution tape (not the floppies). I got the file d1.1-1.2.tar.Z from bugs.nosc.mil. The directions in file "rearrange" tell me to move 1.1/minix/commands/sh.h but I find no such file; I move 1.1/minix/include/sh.h instead. **** I PRESUME THAT THIS IS OK. The directions in file "rearrange" tell me to remove 1.1/minix/commands/changemem but I find no such file so I do nothing. **** I PRESUME THIS IS OK. The directions in file "rearrange" tell me to move 1.1/minix/tools/diskfix.asm but I find no such file. **** HELP!!! I THINK I NEED THIS FILE. The above glitches lead me to believe that the tape distribution may not be the same as the disk distribution of 1.1, and that I may have trouble when I actually try to put everything together. **** IS THIS TRUE??? I have heard mention on the net of the existence of lists of checksums for the various files of a correct baseline Minix. **** WHERE CAN I GET THESE FOR 1.1, 1.2, AND 1.3??? The file "diff.patch" evidently is intended to be run using the minix binary program "patch". I do not have the source or a man page for "patch". **** HOW DO I USE "patch"??? I would prefer to do the patching on a Sun computer running SunOS 3.4, but I do not find any program named "patch". **** IS THERE SOME EQUIVALENT ON THE SUN FOR "patch"??? **** DOES ANYONE HAVE THE SOURCE TO "patch"???? The first line of "diff.patch" is diff -rc2 v1.1/root/minix/commands/ar.c v1.2/root/minix/commands/ar.c which I presume is the command that created the patch file. But my system man page description for "diff -rc2" does not seem to quite jive with the contents of the "diff.patch" file. **** DOES ANYONE HAVE A DESCRIPTION OF THE "patch" INPUT FILE FORMAT??? Any help y'all can give me would be much appreciated, as I'm kinda new to this stuff. ;-). Thanks in advance. -- Orville R.

Thanks to all who responded to these questions. I now have the appropriate man page and the binary program "patch". I could still use answers to my other questions though. Thanks again. -- Orville R.
