Clarification, please.
Like scott mc, I'm running Haiku on a partition initialised from BeOS
R5.
I check progress by downloading a pre-built image every couple of
months, and over-writing the contents of my Haiku partition
- all but the home folder. So I haven't re-initialised it in ages, and
it would have been initialised using the original BeOS R5 tools.
Are you suggesting it should be initialised using Haiku tools
incorporating "the recent number of BFS fixes"?
If so, how? Do I compile the tools using R5 as the target then run them
under R5? Which tools exactly?
Many thanks in advance,
