- Just want to add a few caveat's:
-
- 1. Running GEMINI with MiNT (0.93 or newer), you may occasionally
- crash the system by hitting Ctrl-C (to close a window). This
- is reproducable, when Gemini comes up, i.e. with the console window
- closed. If you try to close a folder window then, the system crashes
- immediately.
-
- 2. If you press ESC while looking at a Gemini Window (to update
- the directory contents), and you have a background process working
- on the same drive, the background process is killed ("Open Files
- on changed disk"). Gemini uses a dirty trick to simulate a hard disk
- change for updating directory info.
-
- 3. If you choose to replace the drive icons by folders on drive U:, bug 2
- disappears, but you cannot longer MOVE files from one drive to another
- (Gemini thinks, that everything is on one - physical - drive).
-
- 4. The twins in Gemini are different: Venus doesn't like Minix file systems,
- Mupfel does. I have recompiled the Minix fs to tosify filenames on Minix
- filesystems for programs running in the tos domain. Now Venus
- is satisified too.
