FreeMiNT OS Distro

As reported on Czech Atari news portal, Michal Pavlis has created a new bootable FreeMiNT distribution for Atari Falcon (standard or accerlated) and TT systems with a minimum of 14 MB of RAM.

The distribution can save you a tedious installation process by simply being dumped on a 4 GB SD/CF card. After booting, it shows up as Unix-like environment with preinstalled most recent browsers (links, highwire, netsurf), compilers and utilities (e.g. midnight commander, curl or wget). Network support is provided via NetUSBee and PicoWiFi.

Pretty awesome!

I just want to correct that the author of the new distro is Michal Pavlis. PeTTr just wrote the news @atariportal, which is also important.

And Michal is also working on NetBSD for Falcon with an accelerator. I think there will be more news soon.

Michal tested it only with the CT60.ย We would appreciate it if someone could test the distro and report back. Thanks.

I figured it was just a matter of days before the thing would going to be taken down after I saw it booting with a commerical version of Hddriver. But I was wrong, it was only hours :)
