Keywords: bla Message-ID: Date: 23 Apr 91 15:18:54 GMT Organization: University of Oldenburg, Germany Lines: 20 Hello out there, I was just wondering if someone does work with AmigaMinix and can tell me how far the recent version (I think the latest kernel I saw was dated April 4th) does support harddisk usage ? The problem is that I am going to purchase AmigaMinix next weekend on a fair, but it isn't really worth the price if it doesn't work with harddisks. (You know, I've had to work with just one floppy drive for 3 years, and now that I have a harddisk, I don't want to miss it). My system consists of an Amiga 500 with 2.3 MBytes RAM and a 65 MBytes Seagate harddisk (via Omti-Controller). I heard that Commodore's controller is already supported now, but that can't be all, can it ? Please help me decide whether to buy it or not.
