Re: [MiNT] N.aes v2.0 questions?

[Jim DeClercq <jimd@panix.com>]

That is slightly more bother than necessary. EasyMint calls a 
file selector to select the path to n_aes030.sys. Nothing more to 
do than type n_aes after logging in as root. You do have to set a 
button to select logging in. One can also select booting into 
another AES, or to the desktop, for whatever you can do with 
that.

Something does write a file to /user/bin, but the file is n.aes. 
It is a copy of the .sys file.

I could look, but I am sure that the mint.cnf file sets AESDIR.

So, you can type either n_aes, and run the copy in the MiNT 
folder, or type n.aes, and run the copy in usr/bin. I do not 
remember a symbolic link.

Cannot really check right now. Another Seagate drive does not 
work correctly, but is OK in a test fixture. Will re-load MiNT 
onto a Quantum, when that one arrives. Right now, using another 
and less wonderful stack.
