Myers) Newsgroups: comp.os.minix Subject: Minix and MS-DOS Keywords: MINIX DOS MS-DOS PC-DOS IBM AT CLONE Message-ID: Date: 24 Sep 90 01:25:09 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: Rutgers University Lines: 31 Okay simple question (that probably has been asked millions of times) :-). I have a 386sx box. I like it a lot. It does everthing I need it to do under MS-DOS (even multitask using Desqview). I want to run a unix operating system so that I can learn all the great things about it and become a true convert down the line. Now as per the subject I need to know how you (netlanders) are running with DOS and Minix. I have a general idea that creating two partitions and booting for MS-DOS with floppy but I was hoping someone might have a cleaner way like the way OS/2 (yeckkk) with Multiboot or dualboot or whatever does it (ie. boot dos (while in minix) & boot minix (while in dos). Thanx in advance... srm BTW For anyone curious about why I just don't convert completely now, it has to do with my job dealing strickly in an MS-DOS environment when it comes to PC's so I have to run it to have a parallel operation to the things I do there.
