-Manuka's Mint Distribution is a Mint Distribution targeting Unix & Linux users who would like to have a free Unix Like classical environment for their Atari ST. It is based on the 1995 release of KGMD, so don't expect too much new stuff.
-The target platform is the 68000 Atari with 4 Mb of RAM, 1GB Ultrasatan SD Card drive, Ethernec network card (optional)
-MKMD is distributed in the form of Ready to boot SD card images, that you should write to a SD Card using dd on Linux ( see here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/179437/how-can-i-burn-a-raspberry-pi-image-to-sd-card-from-ubuntu on how to write a flashcard image on Unix & Linux) , and Win32 imager on Windows (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/)
+====== Deprecated ======
+**MKMD has been replaced by ST Mint, based on Freemint 1.15 which allows much more interesting stuff to work ( ethernet card !)
+Get the new sd card image at http://subsole.org/st_mint.**

-The Unix environment is very similar to a classical SunOS or BSD system, although of course quite slow. It has bash, gcc 2.5 and a Minix file system. The SD card image was partitioned with the Atari AHDI driver v 5.0 and contains three partitions of 256 Mb each.
