WHAT IS MINIX? MINIX is an operating system that is a subset of UNIX Version 7. It con- tains nearly all the V7 system calls, and these calls are identical to the corresponding V7 calls. It also includes a Bourne-compatible shell, and close to 100 utility programs, including cc, grep, ls, make, etc. To the average user, it is effectively V7 UNIX. If you dig deep enough, you will, however, find some differences. The MINIX kernel has been written from scratch by Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl). It does not contain ANY AT&T code at all. The utility programs have been written by Andy Tanenbaum, his students, and a number of other people, including people on USENET. None of the utilities contain any AT&T code either. The shell, the Pascal and C compilers, make, etc. have all been completely redone. As a result, this code is not covered by the ATT UNIX license, and it can be made available. 2. HOW CAN I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MINIX? MINIX is described in detail in the following book: Title: Operating Systems: Design and Implementation Author: Andrew S. Tanenbaum Publisher: Prentice-Hall ISBN: 0-13-637406-9 (Hardcover) 0-13-637331-3 (Paperback, outside of U.S. and Canada) There are also French and Spanish translations of the book avalable, and a German version is due out soon. The paperback MINIX Reference Manual is a subset of the book; It contains only the MINIX speific information, not the general background stuff on operating systems that bhe book contains. The software package does not contain a manual; this is contained in the appen- dices to the book, which also contain a complete source code listing (in C) of the MINIX kernel. 3. HOW CAN I GET MINIX? MINIX is being sold by: Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632 (1-800-223-1360), and Prentice-Hall Int'l, Hemel, Hempstead, England (+44 442 231555) When ordering it, please specify one of the following versions: MINIX for 640K IBM PC $79.95 MINIX for 512K IBM PC/AT $79.95 (0-13-583303-5) MINIX sources on mag tape $79.95 MINIX code + reference manual (PC) $116 (0-13-584426-6) MINIX code + reference manual (AT) $116 MINIX-PC upgrade (1.2 to 1.3) $29.95 (0-13-584723-0) (Sources *ONLY* -- you will need to already have a working PC-Minix system to use this) MINIX for the Atari ST $79.95 (0-13-584392-8) Textbook: Operating Systems: Design and Implementation (0-13-637406-9) Reference Manual: MINIX for the IBM PC, XT, and AT (0-13-584400-2) The PC version runs on many IBM-compatable machines, but check the list at the end of this sheet for your machine and hard disk to make sure. The Atari version will run on any Atari ST, from a 512K machine with 1 floppy to a Mega ST with 4M and 16 hard disks. It works better on the latter. All full distributions contain executable binaries and the complete source code. 4. WHAT CPUS DOES MINIX RUN ON? MINIX was originally written for the IBM PC, XT, and AT. It has since been ported to the NS 16032 and the 68000 (Atari ST). It will also work on many 386-based machines. A list of clones on which MINIX has been tested is in- cluded below. These tests apply to Version 1.1 and 1.2. It is thought that 1.3 runs on everything that ran 1.2, and more. 5. IS MINIX PUBLIC DOMAIN? No. MINIX has been copyrighted by Prentice-Hall. Prentice-Hall has decid- ed to permit a limited amount of copying of the sources and binaries for educational use. Professors may make copies for students in their operat- ing systems classes. Academic researchers may use it for their new experi- mental machines, and things like that. A small amount of private copying of diskettes for the use of personal friends is ok, but please do not make more than 3 copies from each original. Prentice-Hall is trying to be more reasonable than most software publishers. Please do not abuse this. On- line repositories of the full source code distribution are not permitted. All commercial uses of MINIX require written permission from Prentice-Hall; for the most part, they are willing to grant such permission in return for a royalty on sales. 6.

HOW DO I KEEP UP TO DATE ABOUT MINIX. If you are on USENET, subscribe to newsgroup comp.os.minix. There are about 10,000 people in this group, and new software, bug fixes, and general discussion about MINIX take place here. If you are on BITNET or ARPANET, you can get this newsgroup via a mailing list by contacting: ARPANET: info-minix-request@twg.com BITNET: send a message (either interactive or mail) to listserv@ndsuvm1 saying: signup minix-l Your_Full_Name 8. HOW MANY VERSIONS OF MINIX ARE THERE AND HOW DO THEY DIFFER? At present there are three versions for the IBM PC line: 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. The IBM V1.3 contains many bug fixes and other improvements over 1.1 and 1.2. In particular, although V1.1 works fine with genuine IBM PCs, it gives trouble on some clones, especially hard disk problems. In this respect V1.2 is much better. V1.1 is thus obsolete and is no longer avail- able from Prentice-Hall. V1.3 has many enhancements over 1.2, including networking and RS232 support. There is one version for the Atari ST line, V1.1 which is equivalent to PC-Minix V1.3. 9. ARE THE MESSAGES POSTED TO COMP.OS.MINIX SAVED ANYWHERE? Yes. There are many sites which archive everything from complete copies of all articles posted, to summaries of the more interesting articles, to use- ful sources and updates. The first place to look for archives is on your own (or a nearby) system. There are many sites which maintain local archives and are not listed here. If that fails, try an archive site in your area and/or on a network which you are also on. If you want very large ammounts of material from the ar- chives, talk to one of the maintainers about mailing a tape. Surface mail is cheap. Please restrict your use of FTP sites to non-business hours. Abuse of the archives, especially thru mail, will cause bad carma. 9.1 Internet: Bugs.Nosc.Mil Bugs.Nosc.Mil archives comp.os.minix news articles of lasting interest and other Minix material, such as a list of machines reported to be able to run Minix. Material of widespread interest includes diffs for updating v1.1 to v1.2 and v1.2 to v1.3, diffs for cross compilation under MS-C and Turbo-C, the new C compiler, the editor Elle v4.1, and recently a port of C-Kermit. This material is available by anonymous FTP (during non-business hours) on bugs.nosc.mil in directory pub/Minix . There are two index files for the archives, "subjects" and "subjects.ast", the latter being articles posted by Minix author, Andrew Tanenbaum. The file names are mostly just the Message-Id of a news article. This archive is mantained by Vincent Broman, code 632, Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego, CA 92152, USA Phone: +1 619 553 1641 Internet: broman@nosc.mil Uucp: sdcsvax!nosc!broman 9.2 Internet: Simtel20.Arpa A limited archive of MINIX related material is available from wsmr- simtel20.army.mil [26.2.0.74] in the directory PD:. These same files are available to Bitnet from the simtel20 relays on LISTSERV@RPICICGE or LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 in the same directory. To get these files from LISTSERV@RPICICGE, use the /pddir and /pdget com- mands for a directory listing and file retrieval, respectively. 9.3 Bitnet: NDSUVM1.BITNET / Internet: vm1.NoDak.Edu At NDSU we have two archives of information about Minix on our LISTSERV. The first is an automated log of all messages sent to the MINIX-L list, and the other is an manually organized archive of sources sent to the list. Both are accessed by sending either interactive messages (bitnet only) or mail (all other networks) to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1. Some possible addresses from other networks are: Bitnet: listserv@ndsuvm1 Internet: listserv@vm1.NoDak.EDU UUCP: psuvax1!ndsuvm1.bitnet!listserv **NOTE** Many Unix sites have had difficulty contacting this server because it is VERY stringent about what it accepts as valid mail. Also, replies to uucp will *not* follow the same path back as the request was sent on. This machine does "smart routing". The mailing list logs are kept in the "MINIX-L" section, with all filenames of the form: MINIX-L LOGyymmw where "yy" is the year, "mm" is the numeric month and "w" is an alphabetic character from A to E indicating what week of the month. Several months of log files are kept on-line, the number depending on disk space availabili- ty. Database functions are also available on the listserv to aid in searching this archive. To obtain a "Subject" index of the MINIX-L archives, send the listserv a file or mail with the following "job" in the message body: // JOB Echo=No Database Search DD=Rules //Rules DD * search * in minix-l since 88/06/01 index and you will be sent a file containing all of the 'Subject:' lines sent to MINIX-L@NDSUVM1 (the Bitnet side of the Minix discussion lists) since July 1, 1988. If you wish to request one or more items, replace the 'index' line in the above job with 'print [refnum]' where 'refnum' is the reference number contained in the index listing. Documentation on all database func- tions is available by sending the following command (contents of the body of a message) to the listserv: INFO DATABASE The other (manually maintained) archives are kept in the "MINIX" section. To obtain a list of the files in either of these archive sections, send the command: INDEX MINIX or INDEX MINIX-L Files are retrieved with the 'GET' command: GET MORE INFO MINIX to get the file "MORE INFO" from the group "MINIX". For a complete list of information on the listserv: INFO ? Due to the 80-character per line (punched card) limit on Bitnet mail, many of the files will be shipped using an encoding scheme that allows logical lines to be split up into many physical lines. The default for going to other networks is "Listserv Punch". Information on obtaining a program to decode listserv punch format is sent with each encoded file.

The BBS is not a true gateway to Usenet, like some Fidonet nodes are; rath- er it is a "delivery service" whereby new comp.os.minix articles are gath- ered daily and posted as messages on the BBS. Long articles are automati- cally ARC'ed and posted to the file area for downloading. Raw traffic is kept for about 2 months. Once a month the articles of lasting intrest from the previous month are saved into several ARC files, all less than 100k, to make downloading easier. For any given month, the index of articles is in MNXyymmA.ARC, and the actual articles start in MNXyymmB.ARC. You can just download the in- dex, then download the ARC files that contain articles of interest to you. A complete index is always in MNXINDEX.ARC. Call: The Mars Hotel BBS, (301)470-3569 (PC-Pursuitable) 300,1200,2400 baud, 8,n,1. No registration required, no donations accepted. Everyone gets 60 minutes/day. No upload/download ratios (but don't be a jerk!) Spread the word to those without net access. This BBS is run by James da Silva. UUCP: uunet!mimsy!jds Internet: jds@mimsy.umd.edu 9.5 England (Janet) uk.ac.ic.doc (icdoc.uucp) An archive of the worthwhile postings from the comp.os.minix newsgroup is available from uk.ac.ic.doc either via mail or by GUEST niftp. For details about how to access this service send a mail message with NO Subject: field to: info-server@uk.ac.ic.doc and a message body of: request catalogue topic minix request end This will mail you back details of the various ways to obtain the files. This service is only available inside the UK. We have no funds to send such mail internationally. This archive service is run by Lee McLoughlin.

It can be accessed through the mail server, minix-archive@idca.tds.philips.nl by placing commands in the Subject or contents of your message of the form: send index # overall index send disclaimer # I am not responsible for the contents send 1989.Jan # last month's index send 7161@louie.udel.EDU # referenced article send ast # index of Andy's Words (Remove the comments!) Please note that the primary intended audience of this archive is the Europe area, not north america. The mcvax!uunet link is kind of expensive and overloaded... and besides, the americans have their own archives. I am also willing to include other usefull MINIX materials in this archive. This archive service is maintained by Willy Konijnenberg Internet: willy@idca.tds.philips.nl 9.7 Atari ST GNU C Compiler (GCC) A distribution of Minix AtariST gcc and associated libraries and tools are available for anonymous FTP from dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu [129.22.16.2], directory ~ftp/pub/minix/gcc-1.34* (cd to pub/minix). 10. WHAT PC CLONES HAS MINIX BEEN TESTED ON? ==================================================== M I N I X P C C O M P A T I B I L I T Y S H E E T ==================================================== This version dates 19 January 1989 ==================================================== SW = SoftWare, HD = HardDisk, yes = vanilla version runs, no = not yes, fix = works with some fix(posted or not), hotboot = works if warm boot. u = unknown ( yet ) [ do something about it, send the editor email ]. whether his/her information applied to 1.1 or 1.2, or that information got lost and the editor inserted the information into the column he deemed most appropiate. It may be the wrong column however, so be warned. Version 1.0 is the version in the book. MINIX 1.1 is the oldest you may have and the differences are minor. V1.2 is available from Prentice-Hall. V1.3 exists and should be available from Prentice-Hall in early March. A last note : send any additions or comments you may have to -- Alan F. Perry, 3904 S.
