Nope, no luck with the patch disk. IIRC, the patches all go ok except for the kernel. Since I *have* a patched kernel, if I could figure out how to install it (I think I stumbled across docs at one point) that should work on an HD image setup. Without the kernel patch, a few updated utils are broken.
If I get it working, I'll definitely be posting here since the only active AMIX users I know of are here...
