Ok -- here goes yet another beginners question.  But first let me thanks
all the people that sent me mail concerning my last post.  Thank!  ;)

Here goes ...

Currently my HD is partitioned (for DOS .. don't have Minix yet) into 4
drives of about 26 meg each.  What I would like to know is how much disk
space would I need to set aside to have a comfortable Minix environment?
How much room does it take on the HD minimum?  Maximum?  I would prolly
have to keep half of my HD open for DOS apps (gag) but the other half I
could use for minix related stuff ... is that enough?

Also how good is the current version offered by P-H (1.5?)?  I mean if I
pay $160 for it (I saw this price somewhere ... may not be correct) will I
have any troubles installing/using it?

Guess thats it for now ... Thanks again!  ;)
