- I've noticed that atari.archive has a directory /atari/Mint/Distrib_kit (or
- something similar). Could everybody *NOT* use the kit that (presumably) will
- be placed in there. It is currently in /atari/New/{boot,disk1-5}.zoo.
-
- I'm working on a GEM-based installation kit which will make it to the ftp area
- on dogmatix.ph.kcl.ac.uk in the next few days (read: by the weekend). It is
- *MUCH* more flexible, and ought to be easier to use. It'll also be *much*
- easier to keep up to date, since programs are grouped together as subsets (eg:
- the gcc subset contains all the gcc-related binaries, and the gccinc subset
- contains the gcc include files). The limiting factor is the number of programs
- I have on HD that need to be categorised and set together, and their presence
- noted in the config file.
-
- Jeff - I know you don't like being talked to via the usenet group, but could
- you please NOT put those zoo files in the Distrib_kit directory. If you want
- to mirror me here, they will be placed in ~ftp/pub/MiNT. Thanks.
-
- While I'm on the subject, if you upload anything for MiNT to a.a.u.e, (or
- anywhere else for that matter), could you email me here at kcl (either
- sjg@dogmatix.ph.kcl.ac.uk or sjg@phwoof.ph.kcl.ac.uk)
-
- There have been a couple of things I'd like to hear more of... someone said
- they were doing an equivalent of the Sun /dev/audio. That would be nice.
- Someone has just beat me to it to do a build of 'sh' from the bsd sources. I'm
- looking into doing a version of the socket library instead. (Useful if we
- ever get X running on an ST...:-)
-
- Simon.
