Instead of spending so much time speculating, why doesn't Andy Tanenbaum 
just give us the specific details of how MacMinix is going to work?  Will 
it run on top of System 6.0 or 7.0 or AUX?  Will you do development in MPW 
or some other environment? Do you need a 68030 or 68020 or what? Will you 
have access to the Macintosh Toolbox?

On another subject, XINU was ported to the Mac a few years ago.  I don't 
know the details of how it works, but if it doesn't require the MacOS then 
we might want to look at it to get some ideas on how to free MacMinix from 
the MacOS.
