     I  have MINIX 1.1 currently running on my Samsung 3001 PC/AT 
Clone.  What I need are  the upgrades to 1.3xxx. I heard of a few 
archives that I would be able to access, one of which is supposed 
to have the files that I need, I cannot however access it through 
FTP,  I have tried it various times thinking that the network  is 
busy etc...  In any case I'm sure some other people might like to 
know the address, so here it is.

bugs.nosc.mil  in directory pub/Minix

     Thats  what I have been told,  and that's what I have tried, 
and none the less,  all have wound up in failure so far.   What I 
need  are  the diffs,  and the important posts  about  the  bugs. 
That's  it,  and  no more,  however I do realise it is a  lot  of 
information, but it is needed.  I know you can buy an upgrade kit 
from  Prentice Hall,  but that is only good up to the issued  1.2 
which is currently on the market.  I however need serial drivers, 
and kermit so that I may do file transfers.  I also will need EGA 
in  a  few  months.   I was also wondering if there is a  way  of 
telling  minix  there  is two printers on  the  system.   I  just 
started using Unix like operating systems,  and Minix is my  most 
frequent.   I was expecting Minix to be a usefull tool, and not a 
project, but it is fun none the less, and well worth the price.
