The binaries there are identical to the ones that will be in the 1.2 release. Indeed, they've now been moved under NetBSD/NetBSD-1.2/i386. Upgrade instructions are the same as they were for 1.1 -- unfortunately the documentation wasn't in place when I last checked... One provisio: 1.2's kernel floppies have stripped kernels. You *must* put in an unstripped inst or generic kernel, or build a new kernel, after installing. We had to strip the kernel to get it to fit on the disk. Perry
