Welcome to MINIX 3. This CD-ROM is a live CD. You can boot your computer
|
|
from it and MINIX 3 will start automatically without using the hard
|
|
disk. At the prompt, login as root. It works pretty much like any UNIX
|
|
system in command line mode. You can have up to four virtual terminals
|
|
open at once.
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless, to do anything besides demonstrating MINIX 3, you need to
|
|
install the system to your hard disk.
|
|
|
|
This CD-ROM contains the following files visible from Windows or Linux:
|
|
|
|
- README.TXT This file
|
|
- SETUP.PS: setup guide in PostScript
|
|
- SETUP.PDF: setup guide in PDF (requires Adobe Acrobat reader)
|
|
- PRESZ134.ZIP Windows utility to resize FAT partitions
|
|
- BOOTFLOP.IMG If you cannot boot from CD-ROMs, insert the CD-ROM
|
|
anyway, then copy this floppy image raw to a floppy using
|
|
RawWrite (ask Google) and boot from the floppy
|
|
- LISTING.TXT Appendix B as ASCII text
|
|
- LISTING.PS Appendix B in PostScript
|
|
- LISTING.PDF Appendix B in PDF
|
|
- INDEX.TXT Index of files
|
|
|
|
There are also many invisible files used for installing MINIX 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install MINIX 3, please print either the PostScript or PDF setup
|
|
manual or get it from www.minix3.org/doc/ under the heading Installation.
|
|
You will need to carry out several steps before beginning the installation,
|
|
as described in the setup guide and having it available during installation
|
|
will be useful since the on-screen directions are quite concise.
|
|
|
|
