- This directory contains MINIX version 2.0.0 for the PC in the following
- files:
-
- i386ROOT - Minix boot & root floppy image (386 and better)
- i386USR - Floppy image with programs needed for installation
- i386USR.TAZ - All Minix programs, libraries, etc.
- SYS.TAZ - System sources and manual pages
- CMD.TAZ - Commands sources
- INSTALL.TXT - Installation guide (ASCII text)
- INSTALL.PS - Installation guide (PostScript)
- MANUALS - Minix manual pages
- EXAMPLE.TXT - Example screen images of an installation
- NETINSTL.TXT - Notes about installing networking
- XT640K.TXT - Notes about running MINIX on older machines
-
- The installation guide can be found in INSTALL.TXT (ASCII text), or
- INSTALL.PS (PostScript format). It describes the Minix installation
- procedure from floppies. Additional manuals are present in the
- MANUALS directory. If INSTALL.TXT refers to another manual page,
- boot(8) for instance, then MANUALSCAT8BOOT.8 contains boot(8) as
- ASCII text, MANUALSPS8BOOT.8 is in PostScript, and MANUALSMAN8BOOT.8
- is the original unformatted text (UNIX nroff). All these manual
- pages can be viewed online under Minix with the man(1) command after
- installing the SYS.TAZ set. Try 'man man' or 'man 8 boot'. The
- EXAMPLE.TXT file may be nice to read to see how Minix is installed.
-
- But before attempting to install you will have to put Minix on
- floppies. For a 386, 486, or Pentium using 1.44 MB floppies on drive
- A: you must make four sets of floppies. Type each of these commands in
- turn to make them. You will be prompted to insert floppies. You do
- not have to install SYS.TAZ and CMD.TAZ initially, but life is much
- simpler if you have 9 floppies and make each set right now. Be sure to
- label each floppy with the file name and volume number.
-
- fdvol 1440 A: i386ROOT i386USR - Combined ROOT+USR floppy
- fdvol 1440 A: i386USR.TAZ - Base system on 3 floppies
- fdvol 1440 A: SYS.TAZ - System sources on 2 floppies
- fdvol 1440 A: CMD.TAZ - Commands sources on 3 floppies
-
- Use 1200 to specify 1.2M floppies. Likewise for 720k floppies, except
- that you have to put ROOT and USR installation images on two separate
- floppies:
-
- fdvol 720 A: i386ROOT - Separate ROOT and USR
- fdvol 720 A: i386USR
- fdvol 720 A: i386USR.TAZ
- fdvol 720 A: SYS.TAZ
- fdvol 720 A: CMD.TAZ
-
- The i86 directory contains the installation and base system material to
- install the 16-bit version of Minix for old XTs and 286 based ATs. If
- the intended machine has little memory or a 360k drive then read
- XTREADME.TXT and use the installation floppy images in the XT directory
- instead of the regular ROOT and USR.
-
- After you have installed MINIX, you may wish to install some of the other
- files on the CD ROM. The SMX and BOCHS programs are simulators that sun
- on UNIX workstations, so you must transfer them there using a modem and
- unpack and use them there. The other .TAZ files should be copied to
- floppies using fdvol. To reconstruct a .TAZ file on a sequence of 1.44 MB
- floppies via drive A:, boot MINIX, log in, and type:
-
- setup dir
-
- Where 'dir' is the directory where a package is to be installed. Use
- 'install -d dir' to create the directory if it doesn't yet exist.
- The README.TXT files for each package hold more detailed information.
-
-
- In summary:
- 1. You should now have a BOOT floppy (or ROOT + USR floppies).
- 2. A set of floppies for USR.TAZ, SYS.TAZ, and CMD.TAZ.
- 3. A free hard disk partition, or at least enough space not in any
- partition that you can create a new partition in this space.
- 4. Now read INSTALL.TXT and follow it carefully.
