From article <9064@ncar.ucar.edu>, by cruff@ncar.ucar.edu (Craig Ruff):
] MacMinix does not like the beta version of MultiFinder distributed with
] the SADE debugger.  I have to run in Finder Only mode.

I have different situation with the same results. I am running on a vanilla 
Mac+ and can't get MacMinix to boot under MultiFinder. It runs just fine
under the regular finder (modulo the documentation problems noted by others.)

My first set of attempts was under the 6.0.5 version of the Mac OS with lots of different inits running (Apparently MacServe is also incompatable with MacMinix. If I shut MacServe off and run Uni-Finder, MacMinix works ok.)

My second set of attempts involved upgrading the Mac OS to 6.0.7, removing 
*ALL* inits (includeing MacServe), and trying to bring up MacMinix under
Multifinder in an essentially unmodified 6.0.7 environment. Same results.
Other than having 4megs of memory, nothing else on my Mac is changed.

Has *anyone* been successful in running MacMinix under Multifinder on a
Mac+, and if so, how did you do it?
