+PREFACE
+This document describes what yet has to be done in NET-2, how to install
+it, and more of that stuff.
+
+
+NEWS
+New items in this (Rev.B) release of NET-2:
+
+- about 48Kbyte worth of patches from Ross Biro.  These should fix the
+  last "locking telnet" bugs, and some others.
+
+- many, many small fixes like those in the Makefiles.  You all know what
+  I am talking about here.
+
+- rewrites of some system header files.
+
+- better ICMP.  Not complete yet, but I am getting there.  Slowly...
+
+- IP routing ("*** datagram routing IS NOW implemented ***").  Grin.
+
+- Patches from Fred Baumgarten (and, I assume, Gerald Heim) to clean
+  out some remaining 'volatile' keywords, and to prepare for a decent
+  netstat(8) program.
+
+- Mew distribution format, with this text included.  Also: the *new*
+  net-base utils.  *GRIN*
+
+- The "current" versions of Donald Becker's driver kit.  Donald, can
+  you check && maintain please?
+
+
+BUGS
+
+Several known bugs remain:
+
+- no IP fragmentation yet.  We need 'mbuf's for that, on which work is
+  already being done.  Will be after Linux 1.0, alas.
+
+- for the same reason: DDI is not finished yet.
+
+- ARP still acts weird.  Any takers?
+
+- There seems to be a memory leak in the NET-2 code.  Especially when
+  using the IP routing ("gatewaying") code, the leak appears.
+
+- No IP Option Processing yet.  Partly because I don't yet feel like
+  it...
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+	1.  Create a source directory called /usr/src/linux, and unpack
+	    the standard (0.99 PL9) kernel source there.
+
+	2.  Remove the old NET code with the commands:
+
+		# rm -rf /usr/src/linux/net
+
+	3.  Remove an old include file:
+
+		# rm -f /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sock_ioctl.h
+
+	4.  Unpack the "net-ksrc.tgz" file:
+
+		# cd /usr/src/linux
+		# tar xfvz /tmp/net-ksrc.tgz
+
+	    This contains the new NET code. Then, patch the rest of the
+	    kernel:
+
+		# patch -p0 </tmp/net-kernel.cdif
+
+	    (relax, the patch only fixes some typos, and adds a number of
+	    system include files...).  Note, that this patch overwrites any
+	    current "Makefile", "config.in" or "Configure" files in the
+	    top-level directory.
+
+	5.  Check the definitions in net-2/inet/Makefile.
+
+	6.  Make config && depend:
+
+		# cd /usr/src/linux
+		# make config
+		# make depend
+
+	    Choose the "TCP/IP Networking software version 2" in the
+	    configuration section.
+
+	7.  Make the kernel.
+
+
+NETWORK PROGRAMS
+
+NET-2 has changed a lot, so a new set of "base utilities" comes with
+it.  These programs allow you to set up and maintain your network.
+To compile and install:
+
+	1.  Create the directory:
+
+		# mkdir /usr/src/commands/usr.net/net
+
+	2.  Unpack the distribution:
+
+		# cd /usr/src/commands/usr.net/net
+		# tar xfvz /tmp/net-base.tgz
+
+	3.  Make the stuff.
+
+		# make
+
+Here is how I have things set up here:

+
+Note, that in LINUX/Pro, all system config files are kept in /conf, and
+all non-needed binaries (like the TCP/IP and RPC servers) are in /usr/etc.
+
+Have a look at the sample config files in the net-base distribution, and
+pay close attention to the "rc.inet[12]" files, which set up your network.
+
+
+SLIP
+
+For SLIP users: yes, SLIP works.  Have a look at the new "dip" program
+and its config file.  Dip is not perfect yet, but I am sure the guys
+at Demon.Co.Uk will change this.  Right, guys? :-)
