Where are all the patches and diffs available for 0.9.71preX?

[Rob Frohne]

Hi Joe,

I was quite excited to find your pre7 tarball, and downloaded it at 
school on a Lombard powerbook I have running ubuntu, and had previously 
got pre6 going on just fine with OS X.  I didn't have a lot of time to 
play with it, but it didn't work out of the box with OS 9 partition that 
had worked with a previous version of mol, though I think it worked with 
an OS X on CD.  I also just tried it on another powerbook here at home 
that I have kubuntu on and which was previously set up with pre6, and it 
boots OS X ok, but I can't get it to boot OS 9 off CD .  I also tried to 
boot OS 9 which is installed on the same partition as OS X 10.4.3.  It 
didn't get farther than loading the sheep driver, and the screen only 
showed the results from molvconfig.  Do I need to do more than  make, 
and make install as root to make OS 9 work?

Thanks,

Rob
