Well I received my minix 1.3 upgrade disks in the mail from P-H
yesterday and now I will proceed to install them.  Before I get into
the installation too deep is there any special tips tricks etc that
will help me set this system up properly.  I am running on an 8-MHz XT
with two floppys and a 40 Mb Hd (Miniscribe 3650, WD controller) with
8Mb devoted to minix (partition 1) 24 M primary DOS 3.3 (part 2) and 8
mb secondary DOS (partition 3) It currently running under Minix 1.1 to
be upgraded to Minix 1.3 using the P-H 1.3 upgrade kit.


Some questions I have.

	What commands from ver 1.1 do I need to keep on my hd to
compile version 1.3.  Can I delete everything from 1.1 (I want to end
up with a system thats as close to the 1.3 full distribution version
as possible).

	Does anyone have a directory listing for the complete 1.3
system on a HD with all the files in the proper places that they could
mail me to assist me in my set up of the system?

	Does anyone have the files sys/dir.h sys/timeb.h sys/times.h
and type.h which I understand are missing from the upgrade disks?

	Does any one have a clock driver for a real time clock that I
could use as a starting place to hack it to work on my machine?

	Any thing else I need to know?

Thank for your help.
