[MiNT] My remarks (1): kernel 1.16.0beta



Hi,

Some days ago I started to make a fresh install of my Falcon CT60. After having TOS and MagiC run, now I want to install the latest MiNT release (in combination with EasyMiNT). Here are some remarks:
1. Before installing I read the documentation concerning the new 
Kernel. Doing this from minimal TOS installation is a real pain as most 
of the files are using only LF as line endings. Sure that's no problem 
if you use an installed system with an appropriate application, but if 
you use TOS it's unreadable. The following (IMO important) files are 
concerned:
	AUTO\README.TXT
	PROBLEMS

For the rest in DOC\ it's not important. But atleast one should be able to read the AUTO\README.TXT without "problems" to choose the right kernel!
OK, I'll stop on this subject as it seems hopeless. Most of the ASCII 
files are not "readable" under TOS. I shouldn't have tried to start 
from scrap... You should state:
	Minimal installation requirements: TOS, with installed QED to be able 
to read documentation

I'll send more remarks later.
