I post mail for Motti Bazar because i can't reach him not under motti@ocsmd.uu.net nor motti@ocsmd.uucp nor ..uunet!ocsmd!motti. There is apparently a forwarder on ocsmd to site "king" which is broken From pyramid!uunet!MAILER-DAEMON Mon Sep 12 15:26:51 1988 Received: by immd3.informatik.uni-erlangen.de with SMTP (5.57/5.11-FAU) id AA08975; Mon, 12 Sep 88 15:25:59 +0200 Received: by uni-erlangen.de with uucp (5.57/5.21-FAU) id AA20523; Mon, 12 Sep 88 15:20:19 +0200 Received: by pyramid.pyramid.com (5.51/OSx4.4-880707) id AA06008; Mon, 12 Sep 88 03:52:04 PDT Received: from ocsmd.UUCP by uunet.UU.NET (5.59/1.14) with UUCP id AA29745; Mon, 12 Sep 88 06:40:28 EDT Date: Mon, 12 Sep 88 06:40:28 EDT From: MAILER-DAEMON@uunet.UUCP (Mail Delivery Subsystem) Subject: Returned mail: Host unknown Message-Id: <8809121040.AA29745@uunet.UU.NET> To: pyramid!fauern!immd3.informatik.uni-erlangen.de!rtregn ----- Transcript of session follows ----- bad system name: king uux failed. code 68 550 king.UUCP!motti...

How can I install it on my hard-disk Runs minix on the compaq 386 ? I believe, no. The procedure for the installation on the hard-disk is described in chapter 4 of the user guide (<859@ast.cs.vu.nl>) and in the subsequent own text: How to set up a Minix partition on a hard disk Conditions: boot- root- and usr-floppy A fdisk which can make a 2nd Partition (Xenix, Minix, Dos 3.3 ?) Procedure: - make space on the disk (e. g. delete partition and create it smaller) - boot Minix - determine partition number rule: partition with lowest cylindernumber is hd1 ... for safety you can examine all partitions with od -c hd<n> - determine size of Minix part. (logged in as root) : cd /dev dd if=hd<n> of=null bs=1k where n is the part. number for Minix - make a Filesystem : mkfs /dev/hd<n> <records reported by dd> - mount this Filesystem: /etc/mount /dev/hd<n> /user - copy the usr-floppy onto disk: cpdir /usr/bin /user/bin cpdir /usr/lib /user/lib cpdir /usr/include /user/include cpdir /usr/ast /user/ast - sync and umount hard disk - edit /etc/rc to have the hard disk mounted when the system is booted. /etc/mount /dev/hd<n> /usr - copy rc back to the root-floppy See also: doc/READ_ME 2. HARD DISK But first, you have to test if the disk works under minix. Boot from floppy log in as root and type: cd /dev dd if=hd0 of=null bs=7k count=1000 if no error occurs, OK > 2. How can I get the updates for version 1.3x from a minix news-server or in late fall from PH (not free). for the first possibility, see posting <1192@cod.NOSC.MIL>: | Article 989 of 1026, Aug 23 18:12. | Subject: Minix archives on bugs.nosc.mil | Keywords: minix article archive | From: broman@cod.NOSC.MIL (Vincent P. Broman) | Path: faui44!fauern!unido!mcvax!uunet!husc6!uwvax!rutgers!ucsd!nosc!cod!broman | Organization: Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego | Newsgroups: comp.os.minix | Date: 23 Aug 88 16:12:52 GMT | Message-ID: <1192@cod.NOSC.MIL> | | Here is a repost of the Minix archive description, to accompany my recent | posting of the Minix compatibility list as reformatted by tamura@hlerul5. | | | Bugs.Nosc.Mil archives comp.os.minix news articles of lasting interest | and other Minix material, such as a list of machines reported to be | able to run Minix. Material of widespread interest includes diffs for | updating v1.1 to v1.2 and preliminary fixes headed for v1.3, code for | a serial port driver, diffs for cross compilation under MS-C and | Turbo-C, the new asld with split I&D, the editor Elle v4.1, and | recently a port of C-Kermit. | | This material is available by anonymous FTP (during non-business hours) | on bugs.nosc.mil in directory pub/Minix . The file SUBJECTS contains a list | of Subject lines serving as a kind of index. The file names are mostly just | the Message-Id of a news article. | | Several ways to get these kinds of goodies, in order: | | 1. Look, or ask someone you know to look, for articles still available | on the machine where you read news, or on a neighbor. | 2. Ask the person who posted the material to mail it to you. | 3. Get access to a machine on the ArpaNet (or talk to an acquaintance who | has access) and FTP to louie.udel.edu or bugs.nosc.mil . | 4. To get smaller selections from the bugs.nosc.mil archive by Email, | see the instructions below. | 5. To get very large amounts of material from archives, talk to someone | in charge of it, e.g. me, about mailing a tape. Surface-mailing of tapes | is cheap. Voluminous Email is expensive, though not as expensive as | posting news. | | Everything available to anonymous FTP in directory pub/Minix can be obtained by | sending a mailed request to minix-server@bugs.nosc.mil or nosc!minix-server . | Include in the message, either among the header fields or the body, a line like: | | Reply-To: <your mail address> | | and after that a line or lines naming desired files e.g.: | | send compatibility | send SUBJECTS | send 1180@botter.cs.vu.nl | | to get an automatic mailed reply. Notice file names are case sensitive. | <your mail address> should look something like one of these examples: | | you@stolaf.uucp | sdcsvax!ihnp4!mtgzz!guru | cs.vu.nl!giant@uunet.uu.net | person%utoronto.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu | user%ulowell.csnet@relay.cs.net | honcho%durham.mailnet@mit-multics.arpa . | | Email is not free.

Can I run it under MesS-DOS ? I read here and there that a port > was done ? I need something for Microsoft C. You can run msdos OR minix. You can compile minix under msdos, but this is last choice.
