no, it's a blank disk.

The Aug2000 CD install works just fine. If I use the current I get "Bad
Format"

applying the updates to this install I get

cpu% mk 'CONF=pccpudisk' 9pccpudisk
mk: don't know how to make 'segment.h'
cpu%

When I try the updates I get "version newer than update" messages for
quite a few important sounding files.

Is there a way of downlaoding the full CURRENT source rather than
incremental updates? and then do a make world equivalent?
