SOFTWARE
* This is a live CD-ROM. You can insert it into your computer and boot
from it. MINIX 3 will start automatically and you can log in as root.
It does NOT require Windows, Linux, or any other operating system as it
is self contained. However, to use it effectively, you must install it
on your hard disk. Detailed instal- lation instructions are given in the
SETUP.PDF file. To read this file, you need the Adobe Acrobat Reader,
available for free at http://www.adobe.com/acrobat. The SETUP.PS file
contains the same content in PostScript. Please be sure to read one of
these files before attempting to install MINIX 3 as you must partition
your hard disk before starting and this subject is discussed in the
SETUP files. These SETUP files are also available on the MINIX 3
Website: http://www.minix3.org/doc. Please have a printed copy of the
SETUP file available while you are doing the installation, as it will be
very helpful to you then.
