>Many major changes: restructured for better layout,
new chapters added, updated files and file pointers,
new master distribution location, source broken into
parts, new sample files, md5sums on all sample files,
overall update and proofread of materials. Thank-you
very much to Simon Kuhn for donating an old Sun4 to
enable more sample files be made. Thank-you also to
Nate Carlson for donating sample kernels (unfortunately
that info was lost during a disk crash...Nate, please
contact me.). If anyone contributed items between
May 31 and Oct 31 and it does not show up in this

>This is called the "@#!$?" release. It is
called such because there were some small-mid
size changes to the document which were lost
in a disk failure, prior to me re-uploading to
the LDP site. To give you an idea of how bad
the situation was, the last version I had on
backup was in Docbook SGML, while I had switched
to Docbook XML many months prior. Simply put,
any contributed changes or email contacts I had
with contributors were lost, and are hopefully on
their way back in with this release. If you
contributed something, and it disappeared, please
contact me immediately, and it'll get back in. --RSD</TD

> This project used to be available at the URL
'http://javastation-howto.homeip.net'. In Spring 2001, homeip.net
discontinued their free service and moved to a fee based scheme.
Given the hundreds of mirrors of LDP documents, I do not find
the fees justifiable. I have changed all references in this document back to
my home server. Between my server's address, <A
HREF="http://dubinski-family.org/~jshowto"
TARGET="_top"
> http://dubinski-family.org/~jshowto</A
>,
the LDP website, and its hundreds of mirrors, you should be able to always
find the JavaStation-HOWTO. If this is not the case, email me immediately
at either <TT
