Bingo.  Minimal installations omit (among other things) color 
support.  It is generally intended that you use this for things 
like fitting Disinfectant onto a bootable system floppy, or disk 
recovery tools, etc.  For things like this you don't need color.

The minimum installations also omit all support for patches 
needed by other ROM sets, meaning you can't copy the system file 
to a different cpu;  you have to install again.  

Just reinstall with the main install script, instead of the 
"minimal" script.
