I fell in love with it! The demo disk ran fine on my system. It was a factor in my ordering the stock version of Mnx. I have a XT clone with a Seagate 225 20M HD. I received 1.5 from PH the other day. I made copies of the distribution disks and went to work. Well, for some reason after Minix loads the ram disk it will not come back and tell to put in the /usr disk and type return. I can boot with the demo disk. I ran the test on the harddrive that was indicated in the manual. It turned out fine. From what I can tell, Minix is not executing the file 'rc' located in /etc. I would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have. Thanks. -tim wilhite, kb0aso Subject: Mnx 1.5 boot problem Expires: References: Sender: Reply-To: twilhite@isis.UUCP (timothy r. wilhite kb0aso) Followup-To: Distribution: world Organization: Nyx -- Public access Unix, U. of Denver, dept. of Math/CS Keywords:
