This is the NetBSD-1.3.2/i386 binary release, dated 26 May 1998

The sources for this release will be located in a parallel "source/"
directory at the same level as the "i386/" directory you are looking
at now.

*** There may be important information for you in the LAST_MINUTE file
*** one level up from this one. Please read it!

This release's directory structure is somewhat different than that we
have used in the past. Please examine the release.7 man page (included
in this directory for convenience) if you find it confusing.

NOTE: There is a new install/upgrade program on the disks in this
release, called "sysinst". It is fairly new and may still have some
last bugs in it. If you use it to upgrade, please back up your machine
first just to be safe! This is always a good idea, of course.

NOTE: 1.3.* is the first major release in which users are actually
expected to try to run for a brief time with a "GENERIC" kernel, which
is located in the special kern.tgz install set. If you are looking for
where the "GENERIC" kernel went, you can find it there. Note that some
devices in "GENERIC" may cause trouble on some machines because of
probing problems. Please let us know if you have difficulties.

NOTE FOR PCMCIA USERS: There are known problems with PCMCIA devices
under 1.3.* -- in particular, multi-function cards are known to often
not work, and there are problems with installing (but not using!)
PCMCIA systems with the standard install procedures. Some workarounds
for the latter are documented in INSTALL. It is hoped that patches for
these problems will soon be available.


Please send bug reports!

Enjoy!
