   OK, now I have MiNT running from r:\. :-)   
   When preparing my disk, I set a partition with 4094 kB. It is for   
   very large data that I will not have to access under plain TOS, so   
   it is Q:\ - just before the lnx one ;-) -.   
   I tested it under MagiC!, which let me copy/retrieve data to/from   
   it with no problem.   
   But MiNT seems not to like it, stating something about fat being   
   too small, and this is reported when trying to access the drive   
   too (I use Thing as a desktop).   
   There are 2 alertboxes displayed then :   
   - for Thing, "No information available about drive Q:! (TOS -46)"   
   - for XaAES , "pid 104 (thing): FATFS (Q): FAT too small (FAT   
     size = 8174, minfat = 8175)"   
   I tried to change the value of cache into mint.cnf from 4096 to   
   6144, then to 8192, but it didn't help. :-(   
   What might I have done wrong ?   
      
   Regards,
