Manifest

  1. Start by downloading the MINIX parts. Go to http://www.cs.vu.nl/pub/minix/ and select the version of MINIX you want to download, in my case I chose 2.0.3.

  2. Since I am installing version 2.0.3 to a machine that is a 386 or higher, I grabbed the following files:

    • The two base floppy install images:

      • The core bootable part: ROOT.MNX

      • A small /usr (which makes the system USR-able): USR.MNX

    • Two packages that provide a number of additional binaries:

      • A much larger, expanded selection of /usr files: USR.TAZ

      • Networking binaries: NET.TAZ

    • Two packages including the sources to MINIX:

      • Kernel and core system stuff: SYS.TAZ

      • Everything else (i.e. the commands): CMD.TAZ
