- I suggested this a while back (it might've been to Eric on GEnie as long
- as two years ago!); UROOT=<path> or something like that.
-
- I don't know my way around the MiNT code to implement it myself though.

- Could we do something like this with the new minixfs mount code? Ie,
- mount u:/ somewhere on a minix partition, or mount all those directories
- that are in u:/ on a minix partition?

- Warwick's anouncement for his new TOSWIN+Warwick's Additions says it fixes
