*********************** NOTES ***********************
o PLEASE lock your original disks and only use copies.
o The MINIX utility program maccreate has a limit of 32768 blocks.
o If you have the memory, increase the size of the HEAP space in the
configuration dialog box (see section 5.10.1). This seems
to alleviate some reported problems. If you are using MULTIFINDER,
also increase the size of the multifinder memory partition by using
the GET INFO box.
o Do not eliminate the RAM disk unless you are fairly confident about
what you are doing. Doing so invalidates some of the installation
instructions as detailed by the manual.
o As distributed, /usr/include files have the wrong permissions, so
correct it by doing a "chmod 444 /usr/include/*.h /usr/include/*/*.h".
