Polishing mint #1 - Unix tools, usability and NeoDesk

[@commodoreisnottheonlyfruit]

Can someone help me out please? I have had to change the way I store my disk images and move it over to DropBox. My latest image is over 100MB compressed, so I had to move to Git LFS for it. Unfortunately github pages doesn't allow links to LFS items in markdown. If someone could please go to the download page for the episode from the description above, and verify that clicking on the download link, actually downloads it. I would be grateful. I Would be particualrly interested if it works for users without a DropBox account Thanks in advance if you can help David.

Thank you very much, not sure that this topic is going to do as well as others but it's stuff I really enjoy doing

I always dreamed back in the day of getting the 68k release of Linux working on my Falcon, downloaded all the sources and got a C compiler, then realised exactly how out of my depth I was (back then)... So, seeing you getting all this stuff running now is awesome :D. Thanks for making these, really great to see Unix tools running properly on a Hatari Falcon!

[@commodoreisnottheonlyfruit]

Glad you l;oike the videos. A video on Linux 68000 might be a good idea for the future.

I see you're install unix apps on a TOS file system (I assume you most likely know that you could have an ext2 partition if you wanted) I wonder if there are any drawbacks to doing this? I'm thinking along the lines of unix permissions that don't exist on the TOS file system etc & Also ext2 does have a handy file integrity checker, where as I don't know if there is one for gemdos/tos (as a mint utility). I certainly see the benefit of having access to the unix apps from tos/gem though, mainly for updating/maintaining outside of MiNT.

[@commodoreisnottheonlyfruit]

The main reason I use this file system is, as you say, GEMDOS support. The points you raise are very interesting and i'll try to address them in a future video. Thank you.
