	I'm currently (anxiously :-) waiting for Minix 1.2 from 
	Prentice-Hall, and have been following this group since
	I first heard about minix. With the large volume of postings
	going through here, and alot of Minix-specific terms being
	used I have a couple of questions.

		o What would be the simplest (best?) way to
		  upgrade to 1.3 ?

		      -	Wait until Prentice-Hall is ready to 
			distribute the upgrade package? (and
			does anyone know approx. cost of package?)

		      - Get all cdiffs from the net and upgrade
			that way. (I must say I've been a little
			overwhelmed by all the diffs being posted,
			not having been exposed to Minix yet I've 
			gotten a little confused. I was saving
			everything but there was so much, and I
			wasn't quite sure what it all was, so I
			couldn't organize it for identification
			later when I finally get Minix).

		      -	And what the heck is a cdiff anyway?

	I hope these questions aren't to ignorant, and thanks
	in advance for any replies.
