This can patch the kernel to 2.1c as well, which is why you may find references to 2.1c being the “ultimate” version of AMIX. In actuality, 2.1p2a is the latest version you can install... and you do that with the patch disk. | + | You have the option of installing the patch disk, which should patch your installation up to patch level 2a.

If you can get the file onto your Amiga UNIX box, like over the network…do so, and you don't need to bother creating a floppy. If you can't, then write the file to floppy using either dd or some adf-to-disk program in AmigaOS like…erm…adf2disk. Or tsgui. In Amiga UNIX you'd write it like this: | + | First download |

| The patch disk, if you made the floppy, just contains a compressed version of the patches in an easily transportable format, a la sneakernet. You don't actually use the disk at all during the patch process.

| When the system boots, you will be run through the setup script again. Just answer the questions intelligently and you'll be fine. If you want to run XDM so you can see the ugly X login after your system boots, answer appropriately to that question. You can also login to your xdm from a remote system, like a Linux box with a nice 24-bit display, by issuing maybe X -query amix_box_address :1.0 on the remote system where the :1.0 is an available display number. If you are not already running X on that system, you can use :0.0 if you want. | When the system boots, you will be run through the setup script again.
