For the past several months I have not been following the MacMinix discussions, updates, etc. Recently my hard drive crashed and everything that I already had was wiped out (no backups at the time). In short, everything that I had patched or was going to patch has been lost. Could someone please email me with information on patches to MacMinix (specifically: accessing the serial ports, fixes for rmaker, console fixes, ps fixes, etc..) that have come out since the beginning? As far as I know no one is running a MacMinix archive. Information on where gcc, g++, etc.. are would also be appreciated. I will post results if wanted (and if there's anything to post).

steve,
It would be a great idea if you could post your responses. As a
new macMINIX user I think that a list of fixes/programs would be
very useful

(In other words, no one has told me anything.) What I have done, however, is done everything I could to get a bootable kernel running on my system again and then rebuilt the kernel. I, luckily, have the old patches laying around. I have several from Joseph Pickert (anyone seen him recently?) and several other people. If someone wants to take the time (I recommend a fast system) I will email all of the patches to them and they can apply them to _original_ source to determine how they effect each other. I keep modifying my modified code, so some of the patches didn't apply correctly; I now have a cursor that won't backspace correctly. Off the top of my head I have patches for the following: * fix for rmaker * fix for misc. console things * fix for initial window positioning (screwed up backspacing from the looks of it) * patch for ../include/a.out.h * patch for ../include/Mac/Memory.h * fix for serial port problems (NOT VERIFIED IN ANY WAY) * fix for ../src/commands/Mac/macread.c command There are some others included in the patches, perhaps a total of 5 files (two of them shar[chive]s). Maybe I'll have UUCP up and running later on this summer...
