How do I get there from here? 1.5 from Prentice Hall == 1.5.10 from the net. Some systems (Mac, ST, ?) have official patches issued by the person responsible for that port. Would you send me the list of archive sites you found to no longer exist or carry Minix things? I've been in contact with most of them within the past month. >Also, in the welcome message I was sent when I joined the info-minix >mailing list, I was told I could get the up-to-date minix information >sheet by sending the message That's out of date. Andy already sent you the Info Sheet so you need not ask for it again but FYI, here's the latest "Welcome" message. This mailing list is intended for the discussion of the Minix Operating System. It is a Version 7 system call compatible OS written for IBM Compatible PCs by Andy Tanenbaum (minix@cs.vu.nl). He is also the author of a book which describes the system "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation", published by Prentice-Hall, 1987, ISBN 0-13-637406-9. Their number is 1-800-223-1360; from outside the US/Canada the number is +1-201-592-2000. Contributions to the list proper should be sent to "info-minix@udel.edu". Administrivia, e.g., additions to or deletions from the list, should be sent to "info-minix-request@udel.edu" or "minix@plains.nodak.edu". I have NOT added you to the list at this time. The mailing list is run from the BITNET listserver "MINIX-L@NDSUVM1" (which is also on the internet, where it is known as vm1.nodak.edu) and its peers, and is gatewayed to the USENET newsgroup "comp.os.minix". Subscribers should consider which of the possible subscription methods is the most effective use of resources, i.e., where USENET News is available, readers should not subscribe to the list since it is already carried at your site There are several sites which archive all messages sent to the list, plus anything else that they see fit. Information about many archive sites, as well as other common questions about Minix can be found in the "Minix Information Sheet". A copy of it can be had by anonymous FTP to plains.nodak.edu [134.129.111.64] in pub/Minix/doc/Info_Sheet or by sending electronic mail to archive-server@plains.nodak.edu (aka "plains" on uucp and bitnet) saying: send Minix/doc/Info_Sheet a report on what machines Minix has been tested on is available in the same directory in the file "Compatability".
