# This file tracks changes to the SLS distribution file
# Perms.fix no longer exists. To do upgrades, read this
# file and obtain all the packages that have been listed
# as changed. Most important among these are the z?fix.taz
# packages, which aren't really packages as much as they are
# collections of patches and fixes. To apply, just download
# onto your linux disk and use:
#
# sysinstall -install zafix.taz
# sysinstall -install zbfix.taz
# ...
#
# And all should be well. If you are getting SLS for the
# first time, this will all be done for you automatically.
#
# Hopefully, this will greatly reduce the amount of internet
# traffic in order to apply simple permission type fixes, or
# single executable replacement amoung large collections.
# It also allows people to just fix those series that they
# have installed, so if they don't have X, no problems.
#
# PS: Note that the [mv] and [rm] in updates indicate that a
# package has be moved or deleted respectively.

x7/zafix.taz. Or just get Perms.fix. Serial ports were
renamed to be 0's based (ttys0, ttys1, ...). Added link
of linux source include to /usr/include. If missing .h files
like < linux/types.h>, look in /usr/src/linux/include. Note
C++ must be linked "cc -nojump" for now. TCP is there but
kernel must be recompiled (no whining please). Also telnet/
ftp are linked 2.2.2. Couldn't find source. Fix dev/kmem
permission to fix ps/top, etc.
