[comp.os.minix] How do I put AT MINIX 1.3 on an XT

    I have an AT copy of PC-Minix 1.3 that works OK on my Northgate 386 - but I
cannot forgo my large DOS partition  - thus I would like to put it on my
(very old) Tandy 1000.  The 1000 has a 30 MB RLL hard drive.  I understand
that I need to get the XT hard disk driver and recompile the OS - question is,
can I do this without putting the OS on a hard drive somewhere - and moreover,
how do I go about doing this....  Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm a DOS and
OS/2 user.... (ducking from the barrage of rotten vegetables).  Please EMAIL
and I will post a summary to the net if there is sufficient interest...
