[comp.os.minix] ST alltar bugs/fixes/patches/cdiff ad. inf.

However, whenever I try to write to a disk with it I just get
write error=-22. I'm wondering if this is a bug in the original alltar,
as I've seen and downloaded various patches/fixes for alltar, but being
new to the system can't decide which of these fixes to apply to get a
working alltar. Can anyone out there supply the net with a list of
quintessential ST patches/fixes and maybe create a new alltar2.tar that
contains the best of these combined together as cdiffs that can be applied
to the PH kernel/fs/mm to create a new and working ST kernel. Add these
with more HAVES so new features like the fast_copy can be added by simply
changing HAVEFASTCOPY. HCJ is probably the best person to do this as he
seems to be the current ST minix guru, but I wouldn't want to shove this
job onto him. Maybe STers could comment to the net as to which patches/fixes
are the best to make this compilation easier.
   Just a thought.
