Hello everyone

I now have a working basic minix/532. I now have to take the original
sources across. I am used to 1.5 so 1.3 is a bit of a step back.

During the installation I kept some notes:

1. I transfered kermit and then used it for the rest. It would not go
faster that 9600 Baud, and even then will avrage 280-340 chars/sec. So
I had many coffees...

Actualy I had a terminal on tty0 and my PC on tty1, this was very convinient.

2. when unpacking the tars I found that src.tar had stuff from two different
directories : /usr/include and /usr/src but the file names are not relative
to the same point (./usr/include/ and ./src/).

3. moving trees around by 'tar c -|tar x -' needs a wildcard 'tar c - *|...'

4. I am now trying to ger zmodem to work, then I will see if it can perform
significantly better that kermit. It sure will be more convinient to use
sz/rz as a pipe between pc532 and the host. As it is, my zmodem is 1.5 and
expect a reasonale POSIX_SOURCE which 1.3 is not.

That's all. Actually no real problems, the whole package was very well
packaged and easy to install.
