(was Re: "Advanced MINIX"?) Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) From: nomad@watson.ibm.com (Lee 'nomad' Damon) What are the recommended steps? Where can I get the new kernel and other pc532 specific stuff that I need? Well, You need 2 things. a) The original distribution from Bruce C. AND b) The diffs for 1.5h from willow.cs.wwu.edu. To get a) you need to send your original boot diskette (make a copy for yourself) to Bruce. His address is: Bruce Culbertson 4250 El Caminio Real #D334 Palo Alto, CA 94306 U.S.A. You need to send him enough diskettes to make a complete copy or send him enough $ to cover the disks. I forget what he wanted in $$. For part b, ftp to willow.cs.wwu.edu (140.160.140.153) and login as anonymous. Connect to the directory pub/minix532. There is a file called hyb1.5.tar.Z that contains the instructions on how to upgrade and the diffs from 1.5 and Bruce's release. You will also need the diffs1.uue to apply the first set of patches to 1.5h. Also, you might want to get the files from pub/minix532/bin which are the gcc-1.37 binaries (yes they are old, but not as old as the gcc-1.35 with Bruce's original distribution.) and a patch binary. You might want to get other soruces from the pub/minix532 directory like mg2 or ue. If you can't ftp to willow, I can mail you the files you need in a uuencoded split form. Good luck. --Phil -- comp.archives file verification willow.cs.wwu.edu total 1204 -rw-rw-r-- 1 102 1 43414 Feb 27 11:56 diffs1.uue -rw-rw-rw- 1 102 1 4415 Feb 26 14:33 gdbm1.4-diffs drwxr-xr-x 2 102 1 112 Feb 14 09:24 bin -rw-rw-rw- 1 102 1 289990 Feb 13 14:48 hyb1.5.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 102 1 129295 Oct 28 1990 clam1.3.tar.Z -rw-rw-r-- 1 102 1 31802 Oct 28 1990 chewls.tar.Z drwxr-xr-x 2 3 272 Oct 10 1990 mg2 -rw-r--r-- 1 3 24746 Oct 10 1990 mg2-m532.tar.Z -r--r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 82191 Sep 5 1990 ue.tar.Z found pc532-minix-hybrid ok willow.cs.wwu.edu:/pub/minix532/
