Hello I'd like to get MINIX for my computer. Could someone please tell me where to get it ? important: i cannot use FTP. I'd like to get the latest version, not version 1.0 and a dozen consecutive patches. thanks Rob

I believe that Minix is not being distributed over the net this way, and you can order the program at you nearest bookstore. It is being published by Prentice Hall or one of the other big publishing companies. Patches and programs for Minix; however, can be found on the net...

Ron You can get the "patched" sources from various archive sites. I believe that the Minix server has "upgraded" versions of Minix with patches ... but I could be wrong. I have to agree with Ron that to get the latest and greatest, you'll have to purchase it from PH. -- Harry Skelton - Senior Systems Administrator - U.S. Dept. of Transportation ..!attctc!tons61!harrys ..!obdient!tons61!harrys ..!tfd!tons61!harrys [ Views expressed by Harry Skelton are not those of the US Gov. or CBSI ]
