- Well, add my name to the list of folks who would REALLY appreciate a little
- help getting started with MiNT! :) I'm trying to get a minimum setup (trying
- to fit everything on one disk, formatted to > 900K) so that I can do a demo of
- itit for my users group. I have MiNT, mgr, and the MiNT port of ksh on the disk, with a little
- room to spare, so every path will be A:\<something>. MiNT starts
- without a problem, so does mgr. But as soon as I try to define a window, I
- get the somewhat infamous "Can't get pty" error. As far as I can tell, I
- have things set up right. I have renamed mgr as the init.prg. and I have
- ksh and its path defined. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?
-
- The docs for both MiNT and mgr are exceedingly sparse when it comes to
- installation and configuration examples. Is someone currently working an
- a MiNT FAQ? How about a "MiNT Installation and Setup Guide"? If I get
- responses and help, I would be willing to get one started and post my
- results.
-
- So, I guess what I need is:
- 1. where do the various *.rc, *.cnf, etc. files go? auto, root, where?
- 2. what do I need defined in these files? paths, devices, what?
- 3. what order do things need to be in? MiNT first, then what? and where?
- 4. any other tips and hints greatly appreciated
-
- Thanks in advance for your help!
