Hmm. I didn't need installworld_oldk because everything was local drives. installworld_newk seemed to work just fine, though I haven't tried to rebuild post-64btt transition yet. > I think this version of UPDATING.64BTT file is about as polished > as I intend to get it.

Sounds good to me. I don't see any hints on when 5.3R will be in the Web files but we'd need a fair chunk of time to get ports built and tested. Though why commit the change to _types.h after you commit the other files? I kind of doubt anyone would notice them in the repo until you make the change to UPDATING. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
