Good Night to you!
1) A few days ago I cried for help because the "ps" command failed on my
Atari ST (Minix 1.5.10, Patchlevel 3). I haven't described the failure
exactly, so I got some interesting, but unhelping ideas from you.

The error is: " Can't read kernel namelist "
In the first lines of ps.c one can read "use asld -s ... >symbol.out and
then make "ast -X ..." nice, nice. I do not have an PC, so I can't use
asld. When I try "ld -s ...", I get a file symbol.out of the short length
of 0 (NULL) Bytes. That can't be a symboltable, or could it? (BTW, I tested
this on fs.mix)
Any hints, tips, etc.?

2) After applying all "official" 3 Patches, I am unable to print. Everytime
I use "lpr", I get a PANIC--Push RESET Button.
This drives me mad!!
Anybody who got around this?

Ciao,
     Michael.
