hi,

I am in need of help with MiNT and MGR.  I know that they will work on
my system configuration meets the minimum requirements - I have a 520ST with
2.5 meg and a 30 meg hard drive. I down-loaded the two of them from GENIE, 
(which, by the way took forever even at 2400 baud),  and am having trouble 
getting MiNT/MGR to operate correctly.

Okay, here's the root of the problem... I can get both MiNT and MGR to 
start, but each time I try to open a window in MGR I get this "Cannot
get pty"  -  quite frankly I have no idea what this means and have no
way of finding out.  The documentation that came with the two sucks and does
not offer any real information.   Heres my second problem; I cannot figure 
out way the commands that tell MGR/MiNT where to find its own programs to 
work, Ex: "make mgr INSROOT=<directory info> TARGET=<directory info> install" 

What I am looking for are clear, simple instructions for setting up and 
using MiNT and MGR on an Atari, because I couldn't get what I needed from
the existing docs (thought they were cryptic).  

If anyone out there is willing to help, you have my thanks in advance.

P.S.  PLEASE NO FLAMING - I'm only looking for alittle help.


Bill
