This package contains the current alpha binaries compiled from the
FreeMiNT CVS sourcetree at 2005-09-04.


NOTE: This is not an official FreeMiNT distribution, and the binaries within
      this archive should be treated as alpha software! However, you may
      still wish to use these binaries if you either have a wish to live on
      the cutting edge of FreeMiNT development or if you are an active
      alpha/beta tester of FreeMiNT software. For testing purposes this
      development snapshot may be very handy in that it allows you to check
      whether or not your "favourite" bug is still around or not.


CAUTION: Before proceeding, please consider backing up your current files and
         read the readme.txt files in 'mint\1-16-cur\' and
         'mint\1-16-cur\xaaes\' directories!


Installation
============

In short this is what you need to do in order to get the development snapshot
up and running:

1) You should have a working >=1.16.0 version of FreeMiNT installed before
   proceeding!

2) Read the README.TXT found in 'mint\1-16-cur\' on how to update to the
   'current' version of FreeMiNT.

3) Copy the correct kernel for you machine from 'auto\' in this archive to your
   AUTO folder on your boot partition. Refer to the 'auto\readme.txt' from
   the official beta release if you are unsure which kernel you need. Make sure
   the kernel binary runs LAST in your AUTO folder!

4) Read the README.TXT found in 'mint\1-16-cur\xaaes\' in this archive about
   how to update XaAES. You need to rename xaaes000.km to xaaes.km if you wish
   to use XaAES on a system with a 68000 CPU present! The file xaaes.km in
   this archive is aimed at 68030+ setups.

5) It is also adviced that you have a look in the new xaaes.cnf to see which
   config keywords that may have been added or changed!

6) You need to update the mouse driver too: If your VDI supports mouse wheels
   (like Milan-VDI does) you should use moose_w.xdd, or moose.xdd if it
   doesn't.
