[comp.os.minix] beginner questions

traw@grad1.cis.upenn.edu (09/14/90)

I'm interested in getting MINIX running on my system.  Several novice
questions:

- will it run on my 12 MHz 286 with 20M and 1.2M drives?
- what sort of disk space is recommended?
- will minix run PC applications, or can I at least partition off
  an ms-dos portion of my hard drive for large ms-dos apps (such
  as word perfect or autocad)?
- how much does it all cost, and where do I find it?
- does it support multiple logins and simultaneous processes?

(and all the other common novice questions...)

Thanks,
