[comp.os.mach] Mach for i386 - How to begin...

rdthomps@vela.acs.oakland.edu (Robert D. Thompson) (10/29/90)

Hello People,

	Please bear with me as I ask this probably (slightly) nieve
	question,

	Suppose:  I have a i386/25, 8M RAM, 100MB Drive, VGA/1024, etc...

	Assume:   I do not have SCO-Unix, AT&T-Unix, or any other derv.

	Question: I want to aquire the Mach Kernal for research interests.

	WHERE DO I START?

	I simply want to aquire the necessary tools on my own for
	research purposes.  I assume that I will have to aquire a
	version of Unix for the machine.  However, which do I choose
	and whom should I contact.

	Is this going to cost some major $$cash$$ for an individual
	to purchase the necessary tools.

	I state the machine attributes above based on the i386 installation
	manuals on wb1.cs.cmu.edu

	Should I contact MT-XINU?

	Thanks in advance for the time and responses,

Robert Thompson
