I've just obtained the 1.2 -> 1.3d upgrade from bugs.  How do I go about  
installing it?  From what I've seen in the doc files that came with it, I'd  
guess that I copy the 1.2 sources to my hard disk, rearrange the stuff as per  
the 'rearrange' script, and then just untar the upgrade kit over the 1.2  
sources (with overwriting on).  But what does the diff.patch file do?  From  
looking at it, it appears to be a cdiff file.  How do I use it?  If I had to  
do the upgrades piecemeal (i.e., patch minix/commands, compile it, move it to  
a floppy, patch minix/fs, etc.), how would I use the diff.patch file?
