Re: kernel problem

["Darragh" <darraghoheiligh eircom net>]

Thanks for that.  I've just spent the last hour and a half on the internet
looking for an update to 7.3 I've found individual fixes but is there a file
or two that I could download?  You spoke of scripts, are these downloadable?
If so could you give me the URL?  Don't forget, I'm still in Windows until I
get speak up to speak to me.  I've learned that the kickstart program that
you mentioned in your last mail can take files of a partition or floppy.
That's what I like to hear.  If I can get a file which will update the
necessary files just so I can get the thing to speak I'll hopefully be able
to get my Barings.

Thanks

Darragh
