Upgrade Notes from 1.0 [Alan Cox - Alan.Cox@linux.org] Upgrading to 1.2.0 from a 1.0 kernel networking set. If you are using a complete 1.2 distribution you can ignore this. This doesn't attempt to list the changes. That would be too large. Instead just what you need and can change arp,ifconfig, etc. Get net-tools-1.1.95 (or 1.2.0 if its out) from ftp.linux.org.uk:/pub/Linux/Networking/PROGRAMS/NetTools, and install these. You will also acquire a couple of new tools "plipconfig" for tuning plip links and "ipfw" for ip firewall management. bootpd: The original bootpd has a bug that the 1.2 kernel spots. You will need to upgrade this to the version in ftp.linux.org.uk:/pub/Linux/Networking/PROGRAMS/Upgrades Standard programs that you ought to update are named 4.7.x to 4.9.x Stops named dying occasionally pop3d 1.001 to 1.004 Fixes a bug that can lose mail A complete current networking set for Linux can be obtained by getting the NetKit[A,B...] series archives from ftp.funet.fi. Funet also carries binaries for Linux mbone applications if you now wish to make use of these facilities.
