Re: [MiNT] 1.16.0 still no go

Thank you

I have a drive problem, I think. I just ran fsck on it, and it 
gets worse each time. It may do OK on small files, but not on 
large ones.

The files involved were ftpd to that drive. The zipped ones 
unpacked, but did not run, and the tgz and bzip did not unpack.

Thanks for checking, and for the pointer to md5sum. I will get 
familiar with it.  Before today, I did not know of of a TT the 
latest kernel runs on. Now I know of two, and that this problem 
is at my end.

I needed to narrow my issues, and I have gotten some very good 
advice that did just that. Thanks, everybody.

Jim
