Re: [MiNT] Modern Kernel ST support

[Jens Riemann <peter.andreas.jens@gmx.de>]

Hi Mark.
MiNT 1.15 IS working with the Ethernec driver. The issues you are
running into are related to the 68000s incompatibility with 1.15's
68020+ slip.xif and sockdev.xdd.
Perry Drechsel has found ST-compatible ones, and his EasyMiNT ST howto
is found on Maanke's Atari pages.
Click
http://atari.st-katharina-apotheke.de/home.php?lang=ge&headline=EasyMiNT%20ST&texte=easy_st/strike_1#what
and download the ST-Pack.
Maanke had an EasyMiNT distribution which installed a Minix filesystem
which is working on 68000 instead of a Linux one.
Using this would be the easy way, running through Perry's howto would be
the not so easy way. Unfortunately the later is not yet translated from
German.

Greetings, Jens
