Hello,
 
   I just got a copy of the Finder V5.4 Alpha 2 with a new system file.  I
placed it on a floppy and booted it....
 
 
   Here is what I saw..
 
1)  The Get Info stuff window has changed.  I think it looks alot nicer now
but will break comments spacing as it is now 4 shorter lines, rather than
3 long lines.
 
2)  The File menu has a new option 'Get privileges *P'.  Could this be the
new system in Kernel, User apps in User mode stuff??  If it is, maybe the
Get privs lets user tasks run in kernel mode.  Otherwise, alot of software
will break expecting kernel mode access.  But the nice thing is, in user
mode, you could recover from an application 'crash', as the application can
not mess up much in user mode.
 
3)  The disk access speed seems quicker.  This is just subjective,  I haven't
used floppies for a long time now (I have a Micah AT-20).
 
Anyone else have any comments???
