Simon:

I'm pretty sure I'm not running TOS 1.0; the machine is a MEGA STE, with
4 meg of RAM, and a 50 meg hard drive partitioned into C: and D:, and
is only a year old.  I'll verify it when I'm back near the machine.

In the meantime, this is what I did.

Un-ZOO'd DISK1.ZOO to a floppy, and used it as the install disk.  On
that disk was a program called SETUP, and a program called INSTALL.  I
ran SETUP, using D: as the root, and A: as the install drive.  I saved
the configuration.  SETUP renamed my ACC's and my \AUTO\*.PRG's, and
then moved MINT.PRG to the AUTO folder, and moved MINIX.XFS, and
MINT.CNF, and three other CNX'x to the MINT folder.  SETUP then
requested me to RESET (Reboot?).

Rebooted the computer.  MINT runs.  MINIX runs.  When MINIX runs, and I
get the MINIX initial message, the floppy drive light comes on.  When
the system finishes booting, the floppy disk is no longer readable.  In
fact, accessing the floppy drive hangs the system.  This is where I
believe that the floppy has been turned into a MINIX partition.  If I
write-protect the floppy, it remains readable, but the light still comes
on when MINIX runs.  It doesn't appear that anything has been done to
D:.  I believe it is still a TOS partition.

Any of this look wrong?

Regards,

Mike.
