Only  today I managed to copy it to my mega ste and test it. After some fiddling
around  with  mint.cnf/xaaes.cnf (I have no usable easymint installation on that
machine,  so  I  trimmed  it  down  to  a krapmint level) I managed to boot into
xaaes/teradesk succesfully!

Two caveats though:

a) Loading scc.xdd makes the machine hang during boot
b)  Trying  to  launch  any  program  (even  a 50-byte one) resulted in teradesk
complaining  about kmalloc fail (out of memory?) and wouldn't run the program. I
tried to unload almost all xdd/xfs modules but it still wouldn't budge.

All in all, good stuff!


P.S.  I  couldn't  find inet4.xdd in the cvs build, isn't that needed for tcp to
start  working?  My  goal  on  the  mste is to have a minimal setup for using my
netusbee to ftp stuff from and to the machine.
