Hello all,
	I have recently brought MacMinix and I have experienced a number
of problems in getting it running.

	The first of  these is that Minix refuses to run under multifinder.
I Use  6.0.4 with a 6.1b relsease of the Multifinder, and various inits. I tried
it with a vanilla 6.0.4 system and a 6.0.7, but Minix still crashes.. It does
not get to the point of loading the kernel.

	I have also tried recompiling the kernel but something complains that
it  runs out of memory. My mac has 2.5M and I chmem'ed all the programs that
cc calls during compilation. It is only the kernel that does not recompile.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

(btw Has anyone used MacIdris, another Unix like operating system for the mac,
very much in the flavor of Minix? If so, I would like to hear from them...)

Thanx in advance...
