Whoa, guys, there are a couple of problems here.
1. It is not a minix boot disk. It is Linux. It just happens to use the
minix filesystem instead of the ext2 filesystem internally, which means
nothing and makes no difference and isn't worth mentioning. Linux.
2. The web site has a file, "tomsrtbt-current.tar.gz", that should NEVER
exist except as a symbolic link to the CURRENT tomsrtbt. To have a
file called "tomsrtbt-current" that is NOT current is a problem.
Please remove it and replace it with the correct versioned file name,
or a link to the home page, so as not to mislead people that it is
current, when it isn't. I don't have a problem if you mirror it as:
tomsrtbt-1.7.140.tar.gz
Which is what it is, and it IS NOT current, since 1.7.185 has been out
for a while, so, you see, it is a problem to have a file named
"current" that is NOT current.
The tomsrtbt home-page is:
http://www.toms.net/rb/
and
ftp://ftp.toms.net/rb/
The symbolic links:
"tomsrtbt-current.tar.gz"
and
"tomsrtbt-current.dos.zip"
Should NEVER BE MIRRORED WITH THOSE NAMES!!! MIRROR: tomsrtbt-VERSION...
-Thanks
-Tom
