I'm taking a computer science course in operating systems. The course is
centered around Minix. We run it on 386sx's.

The textbook for the class is the same textbook you get when you buy
the software from P.H.

Q:	Can you just buy the software and not the book from P.H. (The book
	cost nearly 50 dollars alone!) I don't need two copies...

Q:	Can you install Mac Minix with only 30 megs of hard disk space?


Also, since I plan to purchase the package anyways, would people who have
had *any* experiences with MacMinix please tell me about them? Tell me
all you want about your experiences with MacMinix. I'm all ears.

Please respond via e-mail since I'd hate to waste *even* more bandwith with
novice questions...

Thanks!
