Re: [MiNT] Enabling Xaaes after Easymint install

[Sean Kelley <svkelley@ieee.org>]

Hi Martin:

As it turns out, the permissions are correct with the latest
Easymint distribution.  I was able to directly launch a Bash shell
and compile and execute a simple C hello world application.

Once I went to the directory you suggested, I could launch it
directly.

This is great, I now have functional Easymint distribution.

Thanks for the help!

Sean
