How much disk space do I need to load/run MINIX? 3. In the 'what programs come with MINIX' document, I see that uucp programs are missing. Does this mean that I cannot use my PC to send/receive mail/news?? 4. Which MINIX 1.3 (p/n 0-13-583444-9) or (0-13-584426-6) come with electronic source code?? Thanks for your help. Ignorant minds, such as I, thank you....
