I ran rn this morning and, to my suprise, it asked me if I wanted
to subscribe to a new newsgroup called comp.os.minix.  I said sure,
and was even more suprised to find that it was empty.  So here is
a question from a friend who has a PC and is considering MINIX:

	If one has a hard disk, is it possible to partition it
	in such a way that it would be relatively easy to switch
	between MINIX and MS-DOS?  Having all that UNIX-like 
	software is great, especially for only $80, but some people 
	still want to run Wordstar, BASIC (Ugh!), Turbo Pascal, and 
	games written for MS-DOS.

(Please excuse my lack of OS knowledge.)

I wonder if this will be the first posting.
