If you look in the ls-lR file from agate.berkeley.edu (which appears
to be the primary ftp site for 386bsd), you will find a directory
that looks like this:

	pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/patches:
	total 0

Hmmmm... doesn't look promising...  BUT if you look long enough, you may
also find

	pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/terry/beta.patch.kit:
	total 372
	-rw-r--r--  1 cgd          2172 Oct  5 11:33 README.1ST.Beta-1
	-rw-r--r--  1 cgd          8569 Oct  5 11:33 README.Beta-1
	-rw-r--r--  1 cgd        358400 Oct  5 11:33 patchkit-0.1.tar.Beta-1

Which _appears_ to be the patchkit that everybody is talking about.  Can
anyone confirm or deny that "unofficial/terry/beta.patch.kit" is the
"official" patch kit?
