Message-ID: <1990Mar26.145023.26314@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu> Date: 26 Mar 90 14:50:23 GMT Organization: Operating Systems Laboratory (OSL), NCSU, Raleigh NC Lines: 15 When AST posts the update files for Minix, and then other users who apply the fixes and find errors in the update code post their fixes, does the next set of update patches (i.e. 1.5.3 to 1.5.5) assume you have already applied each of the little fixes that were posted by various users. Or does it assume you haven't done anything to the original code and the patch file looks for the previous errors and fixes it???? I know this may be a stupid question, but I need to know if I should save every little fix file that comes along....
