  Recompiling on an AT.  How do I set up the disks ?

  Well, guys, this may seem like a real simple question, but I'm spending
a lot of time I don't have on fighting with some trivial things.

I guess I should say first, I don't have a copy of the book yet (I use
my roommates, she's got a class using it.), but I looked and it doesn't
seem to have what I need.

I have the version of MINIX provided for a PC (640K I think), and I need
to know the best way to copy them onto disks, so that I can recompile
the system.

I can't get MINIX to talk to my HD (I assume all I have to do is include
the appropriate wini.c and recompile), but in order to do this, can
someone give me a pointer via mail as to which files (cc, /bin /lib /include
etc, ) to put on which disks ?

I assume, I will be making a 1.2 Meg floppy for each of MM, FS, KERNEL,
and the other one.  It is just a real pain trying to copy to memory a little
bit at a time, and I want to make sure I do it right.

Thanks.
