>Many major changes: restructured for better layout,
|
|
new chapters added, updated files and file pointers,
|
|
new master distribution location, source broken into
|
|
parts, new sample files, md5sums on all sample files,
|
|
overall update and proofread of materials. Thank-you
|
|
very much to Simon Kuhn for donating an old Sun4 to
|
|
enable more sample files be made. Thank-you also to
|
|
Nate Carlson for donating sample kernels (unfortunately
|
|
that info was lost during a disk crash...Nate, please
|
|
contact me.). If anyone contributed items between
|
|
May 31 and Oct 31 and it does not show up in this
|
|
revision, please resubmit it.</TD

>This is called the "@#!$?" release. It is
|
|
called such because there were some small-mid
|
|
size changes to the document which were lost
|
|
in a disk failure, prior to me re-uploading to
|
|
the LDP site. To give you an idea of how bad
|
|
the situation was, the last version I had on
|
|
backup was in Docbook SGML, while I had switched
|
|
to Docbook XML many months prior. Simply put,
|
|
any contributed changes or email contacts I had
|
|
with contributors were lost, and are hopefully on
|
|
their way back in with this release. If you
|
|
contributed something, and it disappeared, please
|
|
contact me immediately, and it'll get back in. --RSD</TD
