[comp.sys.ibm.pc] MINIX questions...

cccbruce@ucdavis.UUCP (Bruce K. Martin Jr.) (01/12/87)

  I suppose this should wait until I get the book, but I'm to interested and
impatient.

  First, does MINIX run in the protected mode on an AT?  If not, are there
any plans to support it in the future?

  Secondly, has anyone given thought to adding swapping to MINIX.  It
would be very useful, and with hard drives becoming so common-place, not
out of the question.  It sounds like a lot of work (to me) but well worth
the trouble.

I am also interested in running MINIX in protected mode, and with paging.  I
recently bit the big one and bought a Compaq-386 as my first home computer.
I am thrilled by the possibility of running a UNIX-like system on it for
which I own all the source code.
