The development of
MiNT-Net for lamers has been cancelled, because it is now more easier, to
install MiNT with
EasyMiNT.
But the texts are available in the future, because you can use them to learn more about MiNT and MiNT-Net.
The distribution packages are no longer available, because there were many old programs in them.
The text refers in some places to the distribution packages, so just ignore them.:)
