Phil.

Humm, a 'mistery' release eh.  I spent some time searching
cvs looking for the same thing, and came up blank.  

I have not yet tried to build 2.1r5 with the old debian-cd

but

The boot the boot floppies in the archive are:
2.1.12-1999-12-09    and
2.1.9-1999-03-03     which were the same ones that were
in the archive in December 1999....only the dates of the
directories have changed (for some reason).

Still, the packages in the archive have changed,
and will require changes to master or useful.

I will give it a try a bit later in the week, and let ya
know what I come up with.
