The Athena 9.2 early release is currently scheduled for the evening of
next Monday, June 16.  At that time, machines in the alpha, beta, and
early clusters will auto-update to the 9.2 release if they are set
AUTOUPDATE=true.

We try not to have data-destroying or severely inconveniencing bugs
during the early testing period, but there may be some glitches.

To manually update an AUTOUPDATE=false machine to the 9.2 release, do
a console login (^P at the xlogin prompt) as root and run:

  SOLARIS:
    detach -a
    attach -O dev-sun4sys-92
    update_ws

  IRIX:
    detach -a
    attach -O dev-sgisys-92
    update_ws

  LINUX:
    update_ws 9.2

System release notes are in
/afs/dev.mit.edu/project/relnotes/rel92.html.  User release notes
should become available through "help" some time during the early
release period.

Please report any problems you see using the "sendbug" command.  If
you have any questions or comments, please send them to
release-team@mit.edu.
