Updating files can found in > previous releases if your system is older than this." > > The last sentence seems quite broken. At least I haven't got a clue what it's supposed to mean. "If you need to see entries from the UPDATING file which are older than 2004/10/16, go get the UPDATING file from a previous &os; release, and it will have a better chance of including what you're looking for." -Ben Kaduk
