I wish to thank everyone who sent in advise on how to backup minix. If i can find the time, I will be trying to backup and then install minix on a plain-jane IBM 55SX during the next few weeks. This is the first time I got on the network and I've been gratified by the help received (so quickly). Also, I went thru the messages (yes - all 300 of them) and was amazed by how far minix has advanced since it came out. As far as I can tell, I'm the only one in the U. of Hawaii system (7 campuses) who is trying to install and tailor an os. Anyway, I work a lot with Vaxes and proprietary software and all that nonsense - and can appreciate getting source code and modifying to fit needs, etc. It's also fun and interesting !! Thanks again.
