I'm a new MINIX user.  I'm currently running version 1.1 on an IBM X/T.
My system consists of 1M memory, 40M harddisk, 1.44M floppy (drive A) 
and 360K floppy (drive B).  I have a sooped up 12Mhz 8088 V20 processor.

I have several questions:
1. I would like to run the latest version of MINIX that will work on the
above system.  Where can I find the necessary patches or updates?
2. In partitioning my harddisk between MS-DOS and MINIX, how much space 
should I allow for a MINIX partition in order to be usable?  I would 
like to keep it to within 10M as I have a lot of MS-DOS stuff.

Please send responses to my E-Mail address:
