Now it will be a little unix-like, we're going to work with GZIP and TAR,
but have no fear, it's easier than you think.:)
First, copy GZIP.TTP, TAR.TTP, mfl-3.1.tgz and mfl-3.2.tgz on the just created, empty
partition. Either on the root directory or in a folder(but don't forget changes in
MINT.CNF!!!)
Now you can start TAR.TTP with a doubleclick and enter the following in the appearing box
(You have to pay attention, that there is a difference between upper and lower case on a
ext2 or
minix)-filesystems
(it's not windoze;)):
-xvzf mfl-3.1.tgz
Do the same with mfl-3.2.tgz.
This is the shortest way to unpack the mfl-3.x.tgz, with this comandline first TAR is
executed and then GZIP. If this fail, you have to execute TAR and GZIP one after the other:
gzip.ttp -dv mfl-3.x.tgz
tar.ttp -tvf mfl-3.x.tar
x represents 1 or 2 here
When pressing RETURN, you should see how Mfl distribution is unpacked, when it is ready,
you should find the following folders and files on your partition resp. in your folder:
bin/
bash
chgrp
chmod
chown
cp
login
ls
mkdir
rm
rmdir
sh
sleep
su
sync
boot/
Link to bootdrive
here you should find all files and folders of your boot drive
etc/

so it is possible that you can't see them)

Some of the folders above are empty, but they are useful and will be needed, when upgrading to
SpareMiNT.
Now you should have already a little MiNT system (hopefully:)) on your computer and the way to MiNT-Net is
not so far anymore.
