differences between cdrom and pcdist

differences between cdrom and pcdist

[Steve]

I noticed that /386/bin/ar /386/bin/ftpfs and /386/bin/sed are different
between the cdrom and pcdist, but couldn't find any mention of bug fixes
or other changes in the errata or updates area. Are there source patches?

Also, /sys/include/a.out.h and /sys/include/mach.h include definitions
for an AMD 29000 platform. Which systems use that processor?

not all changes have make it out, the important ones have.
the pcdist binaries come from the running system.

there are no systems using the 29000, there was interest at one time
in writing some code for an embedded product.
