 	* Added the -s option to du -beppu

-	* Fixed an bug in syslogd causing it to stop after 20 minutes. -erik

 	* New Apps: lsmod, rmmod -erik
 	* New Apps: fbset contributed by Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
+	* New App:: loadacm contributed by Peter Novodvorsky <petya@logic.ru>
+	    for loading application character maps for Unicode fonts.
+	* Major init re-work.  init now supports inittab (slightly different
+	    but similar to sysvinit), allowing me to get all the policy out
+	    of init and into the conf file.  It works just fine without inittab
+	    being present, but if you dont like the defautl behavior you can
+	    now do something about it.  Init is much cleaner as a result.
+	* Fixed an bug in syslogd causing it to stop after 20 minutes. -erik
 	* Fixed the embarrasing failure of 'logger -p'. -erik
 	* Re-worked the source tree a bit so it will compile under glibc 2.0.7 
 	    with the 2.0.x Linux kernel.
 	* Added 'grep -q' thanks to a patch from "Konstantin Boldyshev" 
 	    <konst@voshod.com>.
-	* Implemented sort. -beppu
+	* Grep -i previously failed on UPPER CASE patterns due to a silly 
+	    regexp implementation bug that is now fixed.
 	* Fixed a bug where tar would set, and then clear SGID and SUID bits.
 	* Fixed a bug where tar would not set the user and group on device
 	    special files.
+	* Fixed a bug where tar would not restore the time to files.
+	* Fixed a major security problem with tar -- it changed ownership 
+	    of any file pointed to by a symlink to 777 (like say libc....)
+	    Ouch!!!
 	* cp and mv were very broken when moving directories.  I have rewritten 
-	    them so they should now work as expected.

 	* sed now supports addresses (numeric or regexp, with negation) and 
 	    has an append command, thanks to Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it>
 	* Fixed dmesg.  It wasn't parsing its options (-n or -s) properly.  
 	* Some cosmetic fixes to ls output formatting to make it behave more
 	    like GNU ls.

 -----------
 
-* mknod --help segfaults
-
 * Allow tar to create archives with sockets, devices, and other special files
 * Make insmod actually work
-* init clearly needs to support some type of minimalist /etc/inittab. I
-    currently have _way_ too much policy hardcoded in the source.  Adding
-    support for getty has made me realize how much that sucks.
