Hi! I'm going to be buying Minix sometime within the next week.. I have several questions... 1) If I order it now, will I get 1.5.x or 1.6.x? 2) how much space will be taken up on my HD if I include the complete source code and binaries? 3) Assuming that the TCP/IP extensions have been added, are telnet and ftp available from any source, or will I have to try and write my own? 4) Is it possible to get Xwindows/Motif compiled and running with Minix? 5) Is the current book (I know it needs to be bought separately) the same as the original printed in 1987? 6 (last one)) I have 2 20 meg HD's... they're getting pretty much filled now, but I plan on doing some house cleaning and moving thing around to make space for a Minix partition... I am hoping to give it no more than 10 megs.... will this be enough, or would it be desirable to increase it? Thanks!!!
