Hello,

Since this is a maintence update and the operating system is not changing, do I need to uninstall the packages before applying it? I am just wondering about saving some time.

Thanks

Roy

@reberhar At least keep a configuration backup and proceed.

You should be fine in general.

I guess after reading the other posts maybe I do need to do the packages.

@netblues Thanks

@reberhar Piece of cake.

@slu

Will it be available to download as well?

KOM

@Waqar.UK No they usually just give us a printout of the code and we're expected to type in the bytes ourselves.

@KOM Calm down ya hippy.

@KOM Ah. Those were the days. Spend three days typing in the code and then two weeks debugging. Got some great skills from those days.

@xxup You just conjured up some memories of me, my Apple ][ and various issues of Nibble magazine.

@slu All us old guys with 11/70, BSD, System 5, RSX11 experience, VIM, Emac, C, etc.

I even did 8s for awhile. Really good stuff. Too bad AT&T was so greedy.

Thanks for working on it.
