Everywhere I looked (uunet, export.lcs), it seems that only older (version 1.0?) binaries are available. I have seen a similar questions posted in this news group a few days ago. Can someone with X386 experience post a definite roadmap on how to install X386? Questions I would like to see answered: . Which distribution files are needed? . Are the "fonts", "man", "inc" and "lib" "bin" files unchanged since version 1.0? . Are the server binaries available or you have to rebuild from the source for each OS (Esix ISC etc)? . Who should use which version of the server (1.1 1.1a 1.1b)? From a posting by Thomas Roell, I understand that 1.1b is still beta. Is that why the binaries are not available?
