XaAES pre-alpha compilation
===========================

Introduction
------------

This archive contains a very early version
of FreeMiNT 1.17.x with XaAES 0.998 included.

A number of bugs that until now has prevented
FreeMiNT/XaAES from running on machines with
68000 CPUs have been cured, and this version
should be considered a sneak peek of what can
be expected later on. There are probably a
number of ways to cut down the memory footprint
in the future but already with this version
things are to a certain degree useable on
a standard ST, with 4Mb RAM or more.

Installation
------------

To get these files up and running, it should be
enough to copy the 3 subdirectories onto your
harddisk:

/auto
/mint
/teradesk

If you have an OS installed already, make sure
to back it up first. After you have installed
the files from this zip archive, you can reboot
your computer. If all goes well FreeMiNT will
start, loading XaAES and then install Teradesk
as the desktop.

Disclaimer
----------

We have decided to release this to the
public because it gives ST/fm/e users the chance
to see the new additions to XaAES. This version
should be considered pre-alpha software. It has
not undergone much testing at all and so no
useability or stability can be expected.
