I am pleased to announce version 1.1.1 of the GNU distribution of the Mach kernel. It may be found in the file (about 254 MB compressed) ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gnumach-1.1.1.tar.gz. Diffs from version 1.0 of this distribution are avaiable at ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gnumach-1.0-1.1.1.diff.gz (about 169 MB compressed). Version 1.1 had some minor accidental problems and is being removed in favor of this minor update. This is a bug-fixing release; the only new feature over version 1.0 is the --enable-kdb configure option which has been added to turn on kernel debugging support. Several bugs have been fixed in this distribution, particularly relating to cross-compilation support. This distribution is only for i386, i486, i586 (pentium), and i686 (sexium [pentium pro]) processors on PC-AT compatible machines. Volunteers interested in ports to other architectures are eagerly sought. Most ethernet cards and disk controllers are supported by this kernel; ones for which Linux drivers exist can be ported easily. Non-network devices for which BSD drivers exist can be ported with a little effort, but not much. Bug reports relating to this distribution should be sent to bug-hurd@prep.ai.mit.edu. Requests for assistance should be made on help-hurd@prep.ai.mit.edu.
