[MiNT] Help with MINT.CNF
Hi,
Back in January I tried version 1.15.5 of Mint but had major
problems booting.
The Milan locks-up just after the G:drive is set-up as a VFAT
device.
I spent a lot of time looking at my MINT.CNF thinking I have
a problem. What puzzled me is that I seem to have a GEM= command
as well as an INIT= command, when the docs say I there can be
only one. If this is an error in my MINT.CNF, why has it always
worked ? Is this combination of commands doing something different
to normal ?
More importantly does anyone know why this version of Mint
will not boot on my Milan?
Regards,
Peter
======== MINT.CNF ===========
GEM=c:\n_aes\m_aes.sys
INIT=c:\multitos\starter.prg c:\n_aes\m_aes.sys
# BIOSBUF={yes|no} default: yes
# controls how BIOS I/O is performed. Normally, MiNT tries to buffer this
# to provide a (considerable) improvement in speed. However, some
# applications may get upset by this. BIOSBUF=no turns off all buffering
# for maximum compatibility.
BIOSBUF=YES
# MAXMEM= gives the maximum amount of memory that any process may use
# (in kilobytes). The default is to make this unlimited, but if you have
# a lot of memory and/or programs that grab more memory than they should,
# try setting this.
# e.g. to limit processes memory, remove the '#' at the
# beginning of the next line.
#MAXMEM=8000
# SLICES={1...???) default=2
# Controls how long a process may run before being interrupted. The
# default value (2) is usually best, but if you tend to run very processor
# intensive applications in the foreground, you might want to put SLICES=3
# (this makes cpu hogs get more time than they otherwise would).
# The higher the SLICES value, your processes have faster response time
# but the general performance is worse.
#
SLICES=2
# SECURELEVEL={0|1|2} default: 0
# enables the appropriate security level:
# 0 - recommended for single user setups, like MultiTOS.
# 1 - recommended for multiuser setups, like KGMD.
# 2 - full protection, unsupported by software, thus discouraged.
#
SECURELEVEL=0
# New Mint Filesystem with FreeMint 1.15
NEWFATFS=G,O
VFAT=G,O
# With "ren" command you can rename files on "volatile" filesystems
# like for example u:\dev is.
#
# The Serial Port bekommen ordentliche Name.
#
# ren u:\dev\modem1 u:\dev\ttya
# ren u:\dev\modem2 u:\dev\ttyb
# ren u:\dev\serial1 u:\dev\ttyc
# ren u:\dev\serial2 u:\dev\ttyd
# ren u:\dev\midi u:\dev\ttye
# The "sln" command may be used to create "links" on drive U:. If
# u:\foo is a link to c:\bar, then u:\foo\foo.txt is another way
# of saying c:\bar\foo.txt. Judicious use of links can make
# re-arranging hard disks and directories painless (if you always
# use the names on drive u:, it doesn't matter where you put
# the actual directories).
# Fuer CoNnect <= 2.46 auf dem FALCON kann die Modemschnittstelle
# ueber die Environmentvariable gesteuert werden.
# setenv MODEMDEV u:\dev\ttya
# Fuer CoNnect <= 2.46 auf dem TT und anderen Rechnern
# muessen die Schnittstellen unter dem Originalnamen
# vorhanden sein.
# sln u:\dev\ttya u:\dev\modem1
# sln u:\dev\ttyb u:\dev\modem2
