  Seems there were quite a few messages about Amiga-Minix port not that long
 ago (either here or comp.sys.minix). So if you can - I don't know how many
 back messages your system holds - scan back and re-read them. If I remember
 right, the problem with portin Minix was how to do a FORK on the Amiga.
