Well I finally installed the MiNT distribution kit.  I had to do it 
manually.  I think that I had the MINIX file system working too.  I 
placed the file "MINIX.XFS" in the root directory of my boot drive "C:\"
and I got the message that the MINIX file system was active.

I then wipe everything about under normal TOS by simply copying a 
file to the partition that stores the MINIX partition.

My questions are:

   What do I do to prevent TOS writing onto the MINIX file system when
MiNT is not active?

   I am supposed to be able to make large file names with MiNT and MINIX?
I could'nt find a UNIX like program that would let me have more than the
TOS sized file names.  When I did "touch thisisamintfile" the system locked
up.  No error messages.  Maybe the program could be slow, but I waited about
10 minutes for it to complete.  I thought that "touch" would be extremely 
fast.

   Use the ICDFMT.PRG partition program, what should I set in the "TYPE"
field.  I know that in real MINIX I should somehow make the partition
unavailable to TOS only.  How do I make a partition MiNT accessable and
not TOS accessable?

System Information: TOS 1.0 / 4Mb RAM / 193 Mbyte hard drive / ICD controller
/ 1 embedded SCSI drive / 1 Adaptec RLL drive / Empty AUTO folder / No 
Accessories except TOSWIN when running MiNT

Does anyone know is TOS 2.06 is a good system for running MiNT?  I want
to either get TOS 2.06 or NeoDesk 3.x.  My TOS 1.0 and NeoDesk 2.05 
combination just doesn't cut it.

Does anyone know is Universal Item Selector III is supposed to work with
MiNT?  I have tried many kinds of AUTO folder combinations to get UIS III
to work, but the configuration usually bombs upon the first call of the
Item Selector.
