[comp.os.minix] Getting started with Minix

sberger@nmsu.edu ( Steve Berger ) (02/14/91)

I'm thinking of putting Minix on my PC/XT clone.

I have a few basic questions that I'm hoping someone
can shed some light on.

Where can I obtain Minix for my machine?  Is it sold
inexpensively by mail order?

What is included in the basic setup package, and how
many add on type things are needed to have a good
working system?  Where can one obtain such add on things?


I have a PC/XT clone with 1MB of RAM and a 40MB hard disk.

Is this going to be okay?  Or will I need more memory or more
disk space?



Thanks for any input.


Steve
