  1. I am pleased to announce version 1.1 of the GNU distribution of the
  2. Mach kernel. It may be found in the file (about 254 MB compressed)
  3. ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gnumach-1.1.tar.gz.
  4. Diffs from version 1.0 of this distribution are avaiable at
  5. ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gnumach-1.0-1.1.diff (42 KB
  6. uncompressed).
  7. This is a bug-fixing release; the only new feature over version 1.0 is
  8. the --enable-kdb configure option which has been added to turn on
  9. kernel debugging support.
  10. Several bugs have been fixed in this distribution, particularly
  11. relating to cross-compilation support.
  12. This distribution is only for i386, i486, i586 (pentium), and i686
  13. (sexium [pentium pro]) processors on PC-AT compatible machines.
  14. Volunteers interested in ports to other architectures are eagerly
  15. sought.
  16. Most ethernet cards and disk controllers are supported by this kernel;
  17. ones for which Linux drivers exist can be ported easily. Non-network
  18. devices for which BSD drivers exist can be ported with a little
  19. effort, but not much.
  20. Bug reports relating to this distribution should be sent to
  21. bug-hurd@prep.ai.mit.edu. Requests for assistance should be made on
  22. help-hurd@prep.ai.mit.edu.
  23. The md5sum checksums for the files mentioned in this message are:
