Sure, it's really hard to get a working manual environment with MiNT. But
once it works, you prefer unformatted manualpages. I think it's the
same with the binaries: If you have the sourcecode, you're happy. ;)

That's great! If you have time, ftp.uni-muenster.de would be a good
place, too.

I use screen on my sun everytime I log in and I use the detach feature
very often. I like it and I just want to see if it's possible on my
TT, too.

You are also able to 'move' screen sessions from one terminal to
another, by detaching it and attaching it elsewhere. Some of us don't
care about RAM, so a compile time switch would be a nice solution (if
possible at all).
