Howdy. Many thanks to the folks who responded to my hard disk boot
question. I finally get shoelace, and am very happy with the result.
(Although I have lost my partition boot block several times now,
I'm not sure why, I have not tracked it, but thought I'd mention it
in case its a known bug of some sort).

Anyway, I start looking around bugs.nosc, and noticed that there were
upgrade kits that looked like fun, but they had a little more detail
in and about their version number than I have.

The book/disks for minix, all say "Minix 1.5", and that's it! That's nice
except the stuff on nosc lists everything from v1.5.0 -> v1.5.6...
A little more looking around, found no clues on the O/S itself,
perhaps there is an /etc/version file I'm missing? Anyway, if someone
could point me to what version the "release" is, I can then determine
with ease if any of the upgrade kits apply to me or not.

			Many Thanks,
