Annotation of OSKit-Mach/=announce-1.0, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: I am pleased to announce version 1.0 of the GNU distribution of the
        !             2: Mach kernel.  It may be found in the file (about 2.54 MB compressed)
        !             3: ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gnumach-1.0.tar.gz.
        !             4: 
        !             5: This distribution was prepared in order to install some bug fixes and
        !             6: minor improvements (not worth noting here) to the Utah microkernel,
        !             7: and to make the package conform to the GNU coding standards, at least
        !             8: minimally, as regards configuration.  This was based upon the UK22
        !             9: distribution, with some modifications made at Utah as well.
        !            10: 
        !            11: This kernel will be in the forthcoming complete binary distribution of
        !            12: GNU.  The release is being made now, in the hopes that any serious
        !            13: problems we didn't notice might be found in advance of that
        !            14: distribution.  Volunteers who are interested in compiling this release
        !            15: should do so, and please report any problems asap.
        !            16: 
        !            17: All the non-kernel pieces of the Utah distribution are not present in
        !            18: this distribution, except for the MiG interface generator which is
        !            19: still supplied.  These other pieces were never used for GNU, and are
        !            20: not really part of the kernel at all.  We may separate MiG into a
        !            21: separate distribution for convenience at some later date.
        !            22: 
        !            23: This distribution is only for i386, i486, i586 (pentium), and i686
        !            24: (sexium [pentium pro]) processors on PC-AT compatible machines.
        !            25: Volunteers interested in ports to other architectures are eagerly
        !            26: sought.
        !            27: 
        !            28: Most ethernet cards and disk controllers are supported by this kernel;
        !            29: ones for which Linux drivers exist can be ported easily.  Non-network
        !            30: devices for which BSD drivers exist can be ported with a little
        !            31: effort, but not much.
        !            32: 
        !            33: Bug reports relating to this distribution should be sent to
        !            34: [email protected].  Requests for assistance should be made on
