Is anyone tracking Minix? Yes. I'm a member of the minix beta-test group. I have a copy of minix 1.6.11 on my pc532. It is not yet working. (I'm waiting for a 1.5 kernel before trying to move to 1.6) AST is getting ready to send out 1.6.15 to the minix-beta list. I hope to have a 1.5 kernel before much longer.. (How is the work Bruce?) And by some time this summer I expect AST to release a 1.6 to comp.os.minix. I would think that would be the time to move minix532 to 1.6. I understand that tcp/ip is in the works for 1.6.?, but I don't know if 1.6.15 has it included. --Phil
