Ok, the subject says it all. The kernel source and the disk-images are
available on nic.funet.fi, and I'm assuming they will migrate to other
places in a couple of days. There is a RELNOTES-0.12, but installation
is similar to 0.11, so the installinfo in relnotes is pretty minimal.

Note that even users of 0.11 should boot up from floppy first and copy
all the binaries to their proper places on the harddisk partition: fsck,
ls etc have changed with symlinks, and bash (/bin/sh) due to job
control.

Also note that I've decided to change the copyright to have the same set
of rules as the GNU copyleft - I got some mail asking about it, and I
agree.  The old copyright still holds for now - I want to make sure none
of the "co-authors" would mind, but I'm pretty sure they won't. It won't
actually change the copyright very much: it's the handling-costs extra
etc.

I'll send some additional files (the complete fileutils, the new library
and libc.a etc) tomorrow.
