I am running Minix 1.3 on a single 360K floppy system. I have
a 30 meg hard drive but must recompile the kernel to get it to
work correctly. Is it possible to recompile the kernel on a two
360K floppy system with 640K RAM? I have tried but ran out of
space on the disk with kernel source.
I manually compiled the kernel with cc -c -Di8088 -w *.c
and all went fine....then with all the .s files I used
make and ran out of space.
I have also heard that performance is lost after a recompile.
Is this true?
In the book and manual it mentions the possibility of using MS-DOS
as the development system. Is this practical, and if so any
suggestions on what compiler to use?
Thanks
