[comp.os.minix] Catching up with the net

corley@cs.rochester.edu (David Corley) (12/12/87)

I've gotten Minix 1.1 up and running on my Televideo 8 MHz AT.  So far,
the only problems I have noticed are a scrolling bug on the video (I've
got a Tecmar Graphics Master), the hard disk doesn't work at all (even
with at_wini.c) and the printer doesn't work (although it does reset).

So other than fixing those things, I want to upgrade to 1.2 and get all
kinds of nifty things running from the net.  I've looked at the stuff on
bugs.nosc.mil but there's SO much - is taking the definitive 1.2 upgrades
and working with the stuff that's been posted after that really what I want
to do to get myself caught up with all of you?  Or will I miss something if
I don't take the stuff before the 1.2 upgrades?

Presumably after I catch up maybe my printer and video will begin working
(I see some similar problems), and maybe even my hard disk will start working,
although I don't have as high hopes for that (but I'm sure I can fix it).
Some suggestions, please?
