But no, the various upgrades published on the net do not apply to patched versions but to the original one. >2) The kit says that I have to have PC sources. > > WHY DID I BUY MINIX ST IF I HAVE TO HAVE PC SOURCES (IN ORDER TO UPGRADE?) You do NOT need any original PC stuff to upgrade. I certainly did not have, and went all the way to 1.5.10 (with only 1 wrong CRC in compress.c). The PC stuff it refers to is probably the PC patches that apply to everything except kernel, tools and some commands. >:( Not happy at all...
