Of course, Minix users who want to do real (hobby) work with Minix,
use a hard disk to re-compile the OS or to develop programs. I've
seen hints, that people using the PC version of Minix 1.5 use hard
disk partitions of at most 32MB. On my SparcStation, I have a Minix
partition of 64MB. Currently, almost 60MB are used and I've not yet
encountered any problems. Is there any chance, that I still get
problems? Is it because I use a 32-bit Minix, that I can use a
64MB partition or can it be done on a PC as well (in 16-bit mode)?
