I couldn't remember exactly where my Milan failed to boot
with mp so I have just tried renaming 1.15.12 to mint.prg
and rebooting.

Everything seems to go ok up until Things starts opening
it's desktop windows. The first one opened ok but the
next one didn't list it's files and then Thing locks up.

The caps lock light shows that not everything has died
but nothing else works.

This may not all be the fault of mint's memory protection.

I am not altogether clear what the benefits of using mp are.
