About a month ago I ordered minix (pc version) from Prentice Hall. Two days ago I called them and was told that it is back-ordered. They would not give me an expected shipping date. I see from old postings that this problem has occurred before. Perhaps Prof. Tannenbaum can yell at them again?

I've been lurking on this newsgroup for the past week, waiting for a FAQ to be posted. I'm sure one will be as soon as I post this, but I'm impatient, so here goes. Would somebody mind mailing me the FAQ, (if one exists), and if not, e-mail me the info on where to obtain minix? I have a PS/2 70-121 on which I would like to install minix. Of course, if it was possible to ftp it from somewhere, that would be great, but I understand from the postings that to get started (legally) one must purchase a package either direct from Prentice-Hall, or a software dealer. I have looked through a couple of software catalogs, but have not seen any reference to minix in them. If e-mailing instead of posting, please wait for confirmation before sending, to save bandwidth and keep my mailbox from flowing over. Thanks. -- Who: L.
