  1. I am pleased to announce version 1.1.1 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-1.1.1.tar.gz.
  4. Diffs from version 1.0 of this distribution are avaiable at
  5. ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gnumach-1.0-1.1.1.diff.gz (about 169 MB
  6. compressed).
  7. Version 1.1 had some minor accidental problems and is being removed in
  8. favor of this minor update.
  9. This is a bug-fixing release; the only new feature over version 1.0 is
  10. the --enable-kdb configure option which has been added to turn on
  11. kernel debugging support.
  12. Several bugs have been fixed in this distribution, particularly
  13. relating to cross-compilation support.
  14. This distribution is only for i386, i486, i586 (pentium), and i686
  15. (sexium [pentium pro]) processors on PC-AT compatible machines.
  16. Volunteers interested in ports to other architectures are eagerly
  17. sought.
  18. Most ethernet cards and disk controllers are supported by this kernel;
  19. ones for which Linux drivers exist can be ported easily. Non-network
  20. devices for which BSD drivers exist can be ported with a little
  21. effort, but not much.
  22. Bug reports relating to this distribution should be sent to
  23. bug-hurd@prep.ai.mit.edu. Requests for assistance should be made on
  24. help-hurd@prep.ai.mit.edu.
