Today school let out early so I was able to stay after class and talk to Dr. Lu. Fortunately for me he had been working on the virtual machine for minix. Unfortunately when we sat down in the lab it didn't work. After some quick changes to the vm player we had a working setup and ftp access so it was possible to submit our patches.
I'm not sure if this was the same trouble I ran into last night but it's possible. I had the network setup as bridged but couldn't download software so was unable to get ftp setup. Today though we had to switch it from NAT to bridged. Dr. Lu doubled checked and found that it had to be be NAT in the main labs, but bridged in the small test lab we were using down in the CS Dept.
Seems like there is no reason for this but now we know and can keep everyone else from getting frustrated.
Well now that that's done I can focus on writing my first shell for minix.
