I have the following questions about ST_MINIX:
1. What exactly comes with the software when you buy it from P-H?
2. Will it run from a supra 30 meg hard disk drive without any modifications?
3. Does it carry with it the same 64K limitations that the IBM MINIX has?
4. How big is the binary code , i.e. how much space in ram does it take up?
5. Has X-windows ever been ported to MINIX?
6. Where can one find out more information about the Amoeba networking protocol.
(Tenanbaum's OS book does not mention Amoeba)
7. Are there usefull programs and source code not included in P-H's distribution
of MINIX that is available, and if so where I can I get them?
