Perhaps I missed it, but does someone have a concise explanation of
how to update an out-of-the-box Minix ?  I purchased the PH Minix 1.5
for the IBM on 5.25" on Friday, and am ready to install it on
a Compaq 286/12 with 640K RAM and a 40 Meg disk.

I am looking for:
1)  a list of known bugs with the PH 1.5 distribution
2)  a source for patches and updates to bring it to the latest version
3)  a ported UseNet package (B or C News, rn or nn, etc)
4)  a ported bulletin board system

Does some kind soul out there have the answers ?

Thanks in advance,
