Subject: Distributions: New version of tomsrtbt released.


Version 1.7.140 of the tomsrtbt distribution has been released.

It is available in http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/recovery/,
will be in the mirrors by-and-by, as well as http://www.toms.net/rb/.

This version upgrades everything to kernel version 2.0.37, but more
importantly, includes critical fixes to the pax, tar, and cpio programs
which had a bug when restoring hard links from tar format archives.

The current features of the tomsrtbt (single-floppy) distribution are:
