Computer Science, Australia Lines: 21 I am currently setting up minix 1.5.0, and have run into a few small problems: fsck catagorically refuses to create a file system containing "..". This may in fact be a reflection of a problem in another section of the tools, but the end result is that 1.5.0 cannot create a file system, doesn't recognize 1.3 file systems and hence doesn't boot. Could someone please send me diffs for an upgrade from 1.3 (as distributed by Prentice Hall) to 1.5.0. for the tools. (I would have retrieved the lot myself from sirius.ucs.adelaide.edu.au; but they are currently undergoing a reorginization of their Minix archive) Thanks, in advance, for the assistance.
