[comp.os.minix] Minix and MS-DOS

srm@dimacs.rutgers.edu (Scott R. Myers) (09/24/90)

Okay simple question (that probably  has been asked millions of times)
:-).  I have a 386sx box.  I like it a lot.  It does everthing I need
it to do under MS-DOS (even multitask using Desqview).  I want to run
a unix operating system so that I can learn all the great things about
it and become a true convert down the line.  Now as per the subject I
need to know how you (netlanders) are running with DOS and Minix.  I have
a general idea that creating two partitions and booting for MS-DOS
with floppy but I was hoping someone might have a cleaner way like the
way OS/2 (yeckkk) with Multiboot or dualboot or whatever does it (ie.
boot dos (while in minix) & boot minix (while in dos).  Thanx in
advance...

BTW
For anyone curious about why I just don't convert completely now, it
has to do with my job dealing strickly in an MS-DOS environment when
it comes to PC's so I have to run it to have a parallel operation to
the things I do there.  L8r...
