Considering the number of common questions that go by each month
in comp.os.minix, is anyone interested in helping form a Frequently
Asked Questions list?  For instance, it seems like several questions
have gone by in the past couple of weeks about using 1.44Mb drives
under PC-Minix.  Also, every couple of months someone asks, "How much
work would it be to port X to MINIX?"

I definitely don't want to discourage postings by new users of MINIX ---
to them I say, "Welcome aboard!"  I think we could make this group
more useful to them if we had an FAQ for them to reference.  I think
this could complement Glen's MINIX Information Sheet, which deals
more with the "how do I get MINIX" type questions.

Comments?
