Actually, the image probably changes about 10+ times a day, but not all of them are put up for public ftp :-) >I expect that the kernel included in the boot floppy is never modified >during this ALPHA time frame. Is it correct? Nope. We have on occasion re-rolled the kernels on the floppies also to include some kernel bug fixes. To include the ssys.* dists in any update would be complicated without having multiple ftp trees (which we don't have disk space for on freefall at the minute), and I agree with Jordan that he doesn't want to nuke the origional ftp tree, since we are only really testing the install system, which is by far the most rapidly changing part of the system at the minute! gary
