You're going to cringe.  It's an approx. 1.4 userland, patched up with a
custom kernel (that it looks like I built myself back in 1999...), and
slightly updated libkvm and associated utilities to match the kernel,
IIRC, with security updates for about a dozen programs.

Actually, I'm not trying to upgrade anything, just build a kernel.  The
machine I'm using for the build is the only 68k machine I have with disk
space, else I'd build it elsewhere.  I'm actually going to use it on my
home machine, which is even slightly more hideous.


Later,
David
