   What are the recommended steps? Where can I get the new kernel and other
   pc532 specific stuff that I need?

Well, You need 2 things.  a) The original distribution from Bruce C. AND
b) The diffs for 1.5h from willow.cs.wwu.edu.

To get a) you need to send your original boot diskette (make a copy for
yourself) to Bruce.  His address is:

	Bruce Culbertson
	4250 El Caminio Real #D334
	Palo Alto, CA 94306
	U.S.A.

You need to send him enough diskettes to make a complete copy or send
him enough $ to cover the disks.  I forget what he wanted in $$.


For part b, ftp to willow.cs.wwu.edu (140.160.140.153) and login as
anonymous.  Connect to the directory pub/minix532.  There is a file
called hyb1.5.tar.Z that contains the instructions on how to upgrade
and the diffs from 1.5 and Bruce's release.  You will also need the
diffs1.uue to apply the first set of patches to 1.5h.  Also, you might
want to get the files from pub/minix532/bin which are the gcc-1.37
binaries (yes they are old, but not as old as the gcc-1.35 with
Bruce's original distribution.) and a patch binary.  You might want to
get other soruces from the pub/minix532 directory like mg2 or ue.

If you can't ftp to willow, I can mail you the files you need in a
uuencoded split form.

Good luck.
