Greetings All,
   I hate to rehash something that has been already answered (I presume :-)
   but the New Minix 1.5 announcement said the it will run on an A500 or
   A2000.  Can it not run on an A1000 ?  If not, why?  If it can, then
   a question on Minix itself:  Does it run in tandem with AmigaOS, or does
   it "take over" the machine?  I'm running V1.3 of Kickstart & Workbench
   with 2Mb of memory.  Also, how much disk space does it take (I also
   presume there is no Virtual Memory support, since there isn't any MMU
   on either the A500 or A2000 ( & A1000 ).  Is there someone with an Amiga
   running it now that I could mail questions to?  Any help would be
   appreciated greatly.
