Could someone tell me where the ST kernel sources are? The ones I pulled off the net complain about a "short file" when I try to uudecode. I would like to take them from an ftp site, or if not that, can some one please send them to me, or possibly report as I have read some other people had the same complaint. Thanks, Phil Paone -- Phil Paone attmail!ppaone !rutgers.edu!topaz.edu!ppaone paone@topaz.rutgers.edu

I am looking for anyone who's installed Minix on the Atari ST with a Haba 10 Meg drive. I tried to mkfs onto /dev/hd5 but it kept telling me it had an error on put_block (?) and gave me a list of blocks it couldn/t write. I checked the disk from TOS and it told me I had 10545142 bytes, so my mkfs command was: mkfs /dev/hd5 10545 (error list) The Haba software doesn't come with partitioning programs, so I decided to use the entire disk for Minix. What am I doing wrong?

You must rember that a block is 1024 bytes! if TOS is reporting 10545142 bytes this would be 10297 or 10298 minix blocks, depending on rounding up or down. Your command is correct for a disk of 10798080 bytes. There sould be about 250 blocks that it could not find on the disk. Jack Dunn

I should have said "patches" (I bought minix around 6 months ago) , but since I can't get them uudecode, I couldn't tell whether they were complete or just patches. In any case, I don't need them anymore, I was already directed to the appropriate archive server. Thanks, Phil -- Phil Paone attmail!ppaone !rutgers.edu!topaz.edu!ppaone paone@topaz.rutgers.edu
