28. How do I register ?
You can register through the post. Alternatively send you name,
address and serial number to afsautoreg@flevel.co.uk. You should also
quote your preferred language. Note that this mailbox is actually
processed by a human being and so doesn't require any particular
layout. It will take a few days to process.
When you register you are entitled to 6 months of free upgrades.
Often longer !
29. How do I get upgrades ?
You can pay 3.00 UKP in europe or 4.50 UKP. Quote name, address,
serial number and preferred language.
Alternatively, "telnet" to fgate.flevel.co.uk. When you get the
username prompt type "afsup". Note that this is unix and is case
sensitive. You will be asked for your e-mail address and serial
number. You MUST specify the ones you registered. You will then be
asked what version you want. Do not request any beta versions ! Your
telnet session will then drop and an e-mail will be composed and sent
to you. You will have to "uudecode" and "lha" the result.
30. How do I become a beta tester ?
FLD allow users to beta test new versions of AFS. Note that these are
TEST version and in all likelyhood will fail taking you partition with
it !
It is nice to look at these versions to see where the product is
going.
If you can FLD would love you to test it and post your results to
afsbeta@felevel.co.uk. You are unlikely to get a reply unles you have
found a new problem for which they need more information.
All bug reports should include detailed machine config details
including "ShowConfig" output !
