Amiga UNIX 2.1 "patchable" image...anybody tried it?

I haven't gotten around to it yet, but it's on my to do list. I'll report back after I give it a go.

After much procrastinating, I'm currently installing the 2.1_fixed image. Behold, my stupidly convoluted install process:
-Download and extract the image on the A1.
-Samba the image to the 4000T.
dcp the image to a spare partition on the 3000's hard drive via Envoy
-Boot the Amix disks, installing from and to the same drive.
Bleh! What a mess! But it beats having to futz with external cartridge drives and mass quantities of SCSI cabling.

As for why I didn't send the image direct from the A1 to the 3000? The 3000 doesn't have Samba, the A1 doesn't have Envoy, and I've only got 2 network cables for 3 machines! :-)

Additional info will follow once the install is complete.

The 2.1c patch did not work. Everything copied over correctly, but the kernel patch failed.

How much variability is there in kernels from system to system? Maybe a prefab kernel could be copied in manually?
