Has anyone been able to successfully build the boot application for MacMinix? I keep trying to build a new boot application and it (finally) fails when rmaker is called. Rmaker -v minix.rc NEWmacboot runs for a few seconds, then comes back with: rmaker: Exhausted mem ; line number 445 That's funny, I chmem'd it up until I was at 1000000 bytes (1mg), only now instead of simply giving me the above error message it bombs with an ID=03. Thinking that it might be the minix.rc that was a problem I pulled the original /usr/src/tools archive off of the original floppies and extraced the resource information from there. No luck-- the same problems. Any ideas?

This seems familiar, but it succeeded for me with rmem chmem'd to 305K. I wish I had better advice, but I don't recall doing anything fancy - just tried again when I got a strange error and it eventually worked. .....bill buzbee
