Well, Eric, I compiled it without any real problems on the cross-
compiler at College, (Actually the first use I've put the compiler
to :-), and it seems to work fine most of the time.

The startup message is a bit different ;-) and I wasn't sure what
the relevance of -DMULTITOS was, so I compiled both. The Multitos
kernel one failed at once, so presumably you have to have a Falcon
to run that, but the other kernel (30k larger) worked great, if...

Problem: I can't get it to run anything apart from GEM with the
INIT= line in the mint.cnf file in /mint. I've got 2 .xfs files
in there, and mint.cnf. I tried it using INIT.PRG (the multi-user
package for MiNT), and with tcsh.ttp - neither worked. I've changed
nothing apart from the MiNT version (0.95pl13 ->0.99pl2). The system
just hangs on the welcome message if there is an INIT= line.
(for GEM to run, I just comment out the INIT= line)

This could be a peculiarity of my setup, but anyone running the
MiNT distribution kit will have almost exactly the same setup.
I thought I understood the Mint.cnf stuff, but maybe not...

I compiled 0.99 with the patchlevel 25 libraries. I'm going to
compile the patchlevel 27 libraries asap, I'll tell you if the
problem still remains.

Simon.
