I am pleased to announce version 1.2 of the GNU distribution of the |
| 2 |

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnumach/gnumach-1.2.tar.gz. |

Because of extensive source reorganization, it is not profitable to |
| 6 |
provide diffs against previous versions. |

Most notably, this release updates the Linux-derived device drivers to |
| 9 |
those found in Linux version 2.0.36. |

|
| 11 |
This distribution is only for i386, i486, i586 (pentium), and i686 |
| 12 |
(sexium [pentium pro]) processors on PC-AT compatible machines. |
| 13 |
Volunteers interested in ports to other architectures are eagerly |
| 14 |
sought. |

MiG (the Mach Interface Generator) is no longer in this distribution; |
| 17 |
it is now distributed separately. You will need MiG in order to be |
| 18 |
able to compile this release. |
