Message-ID: <1992Nov26.090743.6728@riacs.edu> Sender: news@riacs.edu Reply-To: ngorelic@speclab.cr.usgs.gov Organization: MercWorks, Denver X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6] Date: Thu, 26 Nov 92 09:07:43 GMT Lines: 22 Okay, I figured out that almost all of the 'problems' I have been having with 386bsd have been 'fixed' by someone. The only problem now, is that I don't have the resources to hold the source distribution, and hence, can't recompile those things that are broken. I assume this means that I will just be stuck waiting for 0.2, but in the interim, I was wondering if some 'reasonably secure' source for binary patches might be made available to fix all those known bugs... Has this been discussed? (I would assume it has been discussed to some extent since the patchkit has atleast 1 binary patch already in it.) Is there a projected date for the 0.2 release? If its due out in, say, the next month, then I wouldn't care about getting interim binary patches. -- "You want it should sing too?" | /* Yeah we got dogs and Valvoline ngorelic@speclab.cr.usgs.gov | Its a pretty damn good time. */ "Life is pain.
