I uploaded at 'tsx-11.mit.edu' in /incoming/guide.1a which is the
pre-release of the final draft of the (DOS) BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO
LINUX/unix that I will update as per everyone's instructions,
comments, on Sunday, April 5. This will be my final update/draft
of the guide as it is now known. It will be absorbed by other persons
who are putting together a 'definitive' guide. I will probably go
on to write up a beginner's guide in a different format, much like
published works. 

I wish only that a document were provided, or in the FAQ, what
files contain what, for instance, what is it?; filutils.tar.Z,
binutils.tar.Z, newutils.tar.Z, ... (well I haven't checked just
now, but do you know what I mean?), so that 'what's in each of 
those files are listed somewhere.... so people would know.
and people are told in news notes that the missing utility that are
needing is in /OLD/utilbin.tar.Z for instance.

oh, also;

wish list:

already created /dev/at0 (it 'is' there)
                /dev/atlow (for 360K)
                /dev/at1
                /dev/at1low (for 720K)

or documentation on how to mknod /dev/at1low........ etc....
thanks
chuck
