[comp.os.minix] ST-MINIX: Help in getting patches to work!

sma@solaria.csun.edu (Steve Acheson) (05/09/89)

I have been trying unsucessfully to get the patches to st-minix to work.
I can compile them fine but when I try to run MINIX.PRG from the desktop
using my 'new' image, the mouse just freezes in the center of the screen.

I have the patches that came across here and they started at #4.  I don't
have access to ftp, (yet! I've been waiting but finally forced to post)
so I can't get them from the archives.  When I try to use the servers at
any of the archive sites supporting them, I never hear any reply.

Do I need patches 1, 2, 3 in order to use ST-MINIX 1.1?  Maybe somebody
could send me a list of (in painstaking detail, assume I'm an idiot,
hmm... :-) all the steps they used to get it up and going.  

Thanks in advance,
Steve
