I also had the forsight to tape the bin01, etc01 and src01 archives. Recently I decided to sort out which patch level I was at, so I removed /usr/src, reloaded from src01, and ran 'patches' from the 0.2.3 patch-kit. It didn't work. After much confusion, I realized that a lot of (if not all) the src .h files are on the bin01 distribution...... Is yours the same problem ??!? -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk>
