I have some questions about sources, which might have been
posted allready, but I am not quite shure, where to get them.
1. A 'sed', to be able to unpack the sources distributed
on this list.
2. A 'man' or something else, together with some man-pages,
if something like this is already available.
Thanks for any answers and hints...

Background: I just recently installed Minix 1.5.10 in a 12 megabyte
partition on my Supra harddrive (I actually gave it 2
partitions counting root). I've got a stock 1 meg ST
(a 1040STf to be exact) and after minix gets going I have
a wopping 538(? I think. I'm on a different machine right
now.)k of memory.
I have a number of questions that have come up in the two weeks I've
had minix to play with.
1. Has anyone gotten Clam 1.3-3 to compile with 1.5.10 ? I managed to
trick it into compiling but I got numerous warnings from the
compiler (1. Null was redifined in time.h & 2. pointer errors ).
I'd be interested in a WORKING binary copy of clam for ST Minix
1.5.10. As much fun as sh might be.....
2a. What do I do with c68 ? Is there a man page out there for it ? And,
what do I do with the floating point library stuff that was with
the source to it ? There didn't seem to be any instructions in the
recently posted source to it.
2b. Does c68 + parts of the ACK C stuff = being able to compile
software needing floating point ?
3. Is there anywhere that I can get online man pages (or at least
could somebody tell me how large they would be if they existed so I
can decide to get another harddisk to put them on :-) ?)
4. Has anyone tried to compile Crisp 1.9 using minix ? I've got the
source sitting on my harddisk, waiting for a time I can try it. But
if it's not possible, I'd like to know.
5. There have been several mentions of patches to 1.5.10. What are
they relative to ? Where does the version sold thru Prentis Hall
fit in ?
6. I created an account for myself, tried to 'su' and NOTHING
happened. Although I'm the only person using my machine (my wife
has her own ST which will very likely NEVER run Minix (Unless I
want to try some amoeba stuff)) I'd much rather not be root all of
the time just to do things. So what do I do ??
7. Can anyone tell give me any insight into the mouse driver for ST
Minix ? I have it but it is for Minix 1.3 (I think). Will it work
with 1.5.10 ?
I guess that's enough for now. Please reply by e-mail unless you feel
everyone out there might want to know what you have to say.

Starting with ACK, you have a lot of work to do before you get a floating-point capable compiler. I'll try to prepare a tutorial on "How to bootstrap your C68 compiler beginning with ACK" for tomorrow, or maybe after the beginning of the war :-), if Christoph van Wuellen doesn't beat me... > 3.

That's about 400K (latest version, not the smaller version that ast sent with 1.5.0). > 5. There have been several mentions of patches to 1.5.10. What are > they relative to ? Where does the version sold thru Prentis Hall > fit in ? Prentice-Hall sells "plain" 1.5, which is 1.5.10. Three patches were distributed for the ST kernel. Numerous patches were available for the commands. > 6. I created an account for myself, tried to 'su' and NOTHING > happened.

So what do I do ?? 'su' must be owned by root & suid (i.e. chown root su;chmod u+s su). If this is the case, then something else must be wrong (what does ps says?)

I have some questions . These are :
1) How much are the differences between IBM PC MINIX and MACMINIX ?
If I modify kernel of one , is it easy to move the modification to
another ? Indeed , I must make a kernel for PC-like machine and
machine that has 680x0 for its cpu .
2) I have a VME system (VMEsystem 1131). It has 68000 cpu boards and 68020 cpu boards ,
Hard disks . I don't know well of MacIntosh in detail. Please tell me
if it is easy to port MACMINIX to VME system .
Please give advices to me .
