Houston Date: Fri, 9 Jul 1993 00:36:54 GMT Lines: 19 I just spent most of the evening reloading NetBSD and trying to figure out how to sync up with the latest blessed (blest?) release. I groped for a FAQ but didn't see what I needed. What I tried doing was downloading the NetBSD-0.8 distribution files and applying the incremental patch sets. But the stuff in NetBSD-0.8 on sun-lamp doesn't seem to correspond precisely to any of the official patch levels. It appears to be somewhere near 0.2.2, but not exactly. Am I taking the wrong approach? Am I working toward the wrong goal? Can someone please give me a clue? Thanks. -- Steve Nuchia South Coast Computing Services, Inc.
