 have been trying to use fetchfile to get the upgrade sources by using

 fetchfile -dadelaide.edu.au minix/upgrades/FETCHME_FIRST

 but have had no luck.

 First is this the correct use of this command, ( no I cannot FTP)

 Also is this the correct machine name? if not, what destination node
 should I be using.

 Also what files and direectory path should I use and fetch first?

 Could some kind soul please enlighten me as I am still learning and an in
 the twilight.

 Also I would like to thank Andrew Cagney for the good and kindly work
 he has done getting these upgrades together, now if only I could actually
 just get hold of them.

 As a side note I have been looking at an old DEC C compiler and optimzer
 with the view of a learning exercise. With a bit of time learning about
 286 archeticture, the pub domain version of yacc, my already written cpp
 I may be able to develop a compiler that gets .o files. I stress this will
 purely be a learning exercise but isn't that all minix originally was.
