Hello MINIX gurus, I have the 1.2 distribution which I haven't used much.
I intend to get more active now, and and want to upgrade to the forth-
coming 1.4.x (or will it be called 1.5.x?). My understanding is that to
do this one needs to have the 1.3d (?) version that can currently be
had from Prentice-Hall, and then be careful to grab all the upgrade diffs
that will come on the net, hoping you won't miss anything (I can't use
FTP to access archives).

MINIX People I have had contact with say that it will be much better to
just buy 1.3 instead of trying to upgrade 1.2 -> 1.3 (they talk about
'tearing your hair out...'). I know P-H sometimes ship the wrong versions
(it happened to me), and you need to specify the correct ISBN number to
be safer to get the correct one. So, then:

	What is the ISBN number of MINIX 1.3d (?) from P-H

BTW, will they accept payment via credit card (Visa/MC)? And also, are
there any archive sites from which upgrades, info etc can be gotten by
using mail or uucp?

							Regard, Bjorn
