	I went ahead and applied the following two patches to get to 1.4.2
before getting this email,

diff-1.4.1-to-1.4.2.gz
lfs-vs-netboot.diff

	I applied them in reverse order of what I have listed.  After applying
the second patch, diff-*, it could not find three files and prompted me for
there names,

src-1.4.1/domestic/usr.bin/kinit/kinit.c
src-1.4.1/domestic/usr.bin/su/Makefile
src-1.4.1/domestic/usr.bin/telnet/externs.h

	I don't have a /usr/src/domestic directory so I'm pretty sure these
patches don't apply to my setup.  I did get the following build error,
though,

yacc ns_parse.y
yacc e -line 0 of "ns_parse.y", unexpected end-of-line

	The file in question is 

/usr/src/dist/bind/bin/named/ns_parse.y

	Should I go ahead and apply the 1.4.3 patch and hope it gets rid of
this problem?  

	I used a previous respondents instructions and did this last upgrade
step in this order;

apply patch
compile a new kernel and install it
reboot
make build
