	Gents,

	Yesterday/last night I fumbled trying to install the 
	5.3-RELEASE kernel.  This morning, my ThinkPad couldn't boot.

	The only floppy *flp set I find out there is 5.3-BETA7 and the
	fixit.flp disc has read errors.  (I tried twice, new floppies.)

	I think what would would would be to get in there with a 
	good fixit, mount /usr, and 
	
	    cp /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/ZEN/kernel /kernel; 

	I'm assuming the buildkkernel did work.   SO: nutshell:
	where are the 5.3-RELEASE floppies?  I don't have a burner
	so can burn a "Live" CDROM.  google finds nothing besides
	the BETA7 flp's.   

	thanks for some clues,


	gary
