I just got my copy of MINIX. I have one minor problem, however. Since I have not yet received my copy of the book, I can't login to the system. This is very frustrating, here it is Christmas vacation and I can't get into the system to play around. Could someone please be kind enough to tell me what the root password is? By the way, I am reading a lot of stuff concerning upgrading from V1.1 to V1.2, how does one go about doing this? Thanks in advance.

Since I have not yet received my copy of the book, I can't login to the system. This is very frustrating, here it is Christmas vacation and I can't get into the system to play around.

Thanks in advance. /* End of text from uiucdcsp:comp.os.minix */ According to the MINIX book, the initial user name and passwd would be: login: ast passwd: Wachtwoord To become a super user, the login is "root" and the passwd is "Geheim". Have fun!
