Re: [MiNT] the kernel

[p.slegg@scubadivers.co.uk]

I had another crazy thought about enhancing the kernel.

From what I've read of the history of Mint, it was based on a BSD
like kernel and extended to allow GEM apps to run.

So intead of trying to add loads of modern OS features to FreeMint,
why not take a newer BSD and port the FreeMint back features into it ?

This has the advantage that the developers will be dealing with the
Atari/GEM features of FreeMint that they are familiar with rather
than trying to grapple with adding unfamiliar stuff into FreeMint.
However they would stll have to learn their way around unfamiliar BSD
code.
