[comp.os.minix] A beginner's question on upgrading

dstein@cup.portal.com (07/22/88)

As a total beginner to Minix who has the 1.1 disks (don't know why -- when I
bought them v1.2 had been out quite a while, but cie la vive) I am now looking
to upgrade to v1.3.  I see 2 paths: the 1.1 --> 1.3 diffs recently posted as
being available, and the longer 1.1 --> 1.2 --> 1.3 route, using the 1.2 diffs
still available on CompuServe and the 1.3 diffs here.

Question: I see that there have been 2 releases of the 1.3 diffs (and it looks
like the same thing happened for the 1.2 diffs).  Is it necessary to apply BOTH
sets, or does the later set have *everything* that is needed?  I haven't been
able to tell if the second release(s) are replacements or suppliments to the
first releases.

Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks.
