Support status

• Minix has a sweet design, but the implementation needs work?
• I haven't gotten a Minix VM to the point of trying backshift's automated tests yet. Minix has been too troublesome to allow that.

Development notes

• preparation
  • Use pkgin (not packman) to install packages
  • "pkgin update" seems useful initially
  • pkgin install openssh-5.5.1 # for both client and server
  • pkgin install bash-4.1nb1
  • pkgin install subversion-base-1.6.9nb1
• Attempts
  • First attempt: I can't ssh into it without getting an endless stream of "PipeFS is out of inodes" on the console - however, I did yank the power on a drive it was on...
  • Second attempt (after a reinstall): I can ssh into it now, but it's very slow. "svn update" is taking forever, and eventually times out.
