> Ok, just ran an install using the 'latest' floppies (midday monday my > time). Ack. I'm just sitting here trying to figure out which way the time goes in OZ and looking at the world-time function on my watch which shows me that it's 0:51 on Tuesday there! :-) In the future, it would be more helpful if you could strip the Updates: line off the README file for the kernel you're grabbing and include it with your messages. Then we all know which boot floppies we're talking about! :-) I'm sorry for the rapidly-transmuting floppies, BTW, but I decided to simply go to "data dump mode" where people can periodically poll my latest set and see what they think. There's no fixed set of test releases, I just keep fixing and dropping the latest example of my work in the UPDATES directory, ammending the README each time so that folks can see (more or less) what I've fixed. > - The timezone bug is (obviously) still there.
