- Dear Peter :
-
- Thank you for your advice, but the patches are shared uuencoded
- files and there is no any command.* file there. I wonder if just get
- these posting of patches, how can a minixer figure out where is
- xargs. Since the script will check whether xargs exists firstly,
- the following steps will not continue any more. Would you give
- me more hints about how to upgrade ?
-
- Besides, I try to build a archive in Taiwan now. You can
- anony ftp to earth.csie.ntu.edu.tw. The files here may not be fully
- collected from world due to a new minixer for me, but I wish to make
- this site more versatile in the future.
