|Question:  *WHY* do you want to have Minix on the amiga??

*WHY* use Unix on a DOS machine? There are multitasking task
managers? Why not use them?

Obviously there is no need for Minix.

Ok, for real. I want Minix because (a) I get source, (b), it's Unix,
and (c) I don't like Amigados. I like the way Unix is set up and I like
the way it works, and I like the way the filesystem works, and etc etc
etc.
