Hello everyone I now have a working basic minix/532. I now have to take the original sources across. I am used to 1.5 so 1.3 is a bit of a step back. During the installation I kept some notes: 1. I transfered kermit and then used it for the rest. It would not go faster that 9600 Baud, and even then will avrage 280-340 chars/sec. So I had many coffees... Actualy I had a terminal on tty0 and my PC on tty1, this was very convinient. 2. when unpacking the tars I found that src.tar had stuff from two different directories : /usr/include and /usr/src but the file names are not relative to the same point (./usr/include/ and ./src/). 3. moving trees around by 'tar c -|tar x -' needs a wildcard 'tar c - *|...' 4. I am now trying to ger zmodem to work, then I will see if it can perform significantly better that kermit. It sure will be more convinient to use sz/rz as a pipe between pc532 and the host. As it is, my zmodem is 1.5 and expect a reasonale POSIX_SOURCE which 1.3 is not. That's all. Actually no real problems, the whole package was very well packaged and easy to install. -- Regards Eyal
