I have rebuild my MacMinix kernel twice now.  Once after applying the
ps fix, and then again after making changes in the config.h (robust filesystem,
wrap lines after 80, etc..).

The only difference that I have been able to actually see is the ps fix, but
that fix didn't fix all of the way.  A 'ps -U' gives me:
	Can't get kernel proc table from /dev/kmem: Error 00

For those of you who rebuild the kernel, when you go back to [Multi]Finder and
reboot with the net boot application, I've found that holding down on the mouse
so you can select the configuration options will result in a system bomb.  What
I have ended up doing is openning the boot application and then holding me
mouse over the `File' menu-item with the button down.  Once the menu comes
down I select configuration and setup everything that way.  As soon as that
is done, I select quite.  This will enable to you reboot without having to
go through the RAM disk being loaded and the other stuff that is *not* what
you previously had Minix set up to do.  I also recommend renaming the boot
application as soon as you get to finder, otherwise when you build a new one
it will halt.
