Somewhere in the release notes it says that the distribution sites are
supposed to carry the unofficial *directory* and the patches *directory and
contents* except that upto now there don't seem to be any *official* patches.

I'd say - forget about 0.2 until there's at least one official patch.

BTW while we're at it - is anybody working on a concept of upgrading 0.1 to
0.2 so that we don't go re-formatting and re-disklabelling and re-newfsing
and re-installing (once it actually happens) ? - Just a thought.
