Yes, the patchkit co-ordinator does that sort of job, among other things. >3) Is an line printer driver included in any of the patchkits? > And if not, why not? No, because at the time I was the co-ordinator, there were 1) too many other bugs to deal with that adding a driver wasn't imprortant to me 2) there were too many differing versions and I wouldn't have known which version to pick. >4) Does a 386bsd FAQ exist which answers these types of questions? Not anything recent. However, you can old version on agate or it's mirrors in the unofficial section. Don't know there names, but one is a bug report I made in September, and the other is a FAQ Terry Lambert made in August. Seriously folks, does anyone have time to pick up the FAQ, and update it.
