I just installed the 0.2 patchkit, and removed patch602 
per the instructions.  Now when I try to build my kernel,
it gets to the 'ld' and complains that "vers.o" doesn't
exist.  This is reminiscent of a problem in the 0.1
distribution!  I thought this was fixed!  Is there
something else I need to do?  It seems like most 386BSD
things don't work as documented (I hate to say that).
But I guess that's to be expected in an "experimental OS" :-)

Also, the docs reference the "FILES" file to be used in determining
what "utilities and libraries" need to be rebuilt after installing
the patch.  It isn't clear to me what "utilities and libraries" 
need rebuilding... is there a list someplace?


Thanks,
Bill
