- demo of Minix, was deleted. The rest of the text is exactly the same.
-
- This directory contains MINIX demonstration disk for the ATARI ST.
-
- demo_dsk.st (Atari ST)
-
- Then copy it bit for bit to a floppy disk. These files are exact disk
- images. They are not files readable by any operating system. They are
- bootable disks. For the Atari, you must use a 360K diskette.
-
- To transfer the demo disk to a floppy, you need a program that can
- write a raw disk image. For the Atari, use file2dsk instead of rawrite
- (see file2dsk.doc).
-
- The demo user manual is available in PostScript form as manual.ps or as
- flat ASCII text as manual.txt. If you can print PostScript, use the
- former; if not, use the latter. The manual.txt file can be printed on
- any printer that can handle ASCII text (including Form Feed).
-
- The announcement file tells more about MINIX, describes the MINIX
- newsgroup, comp.os.minix, and the MINIX archives. It is a flat ASCII
- file.
-
- Once more, to avoid any confusion, MINIX is not public domain or
- shareware. It is copyrighted software. All the files in this
- directory, including the demo disks are also fully protected by
- copyright. The copyright owners hereby grant permission to copy and
- use the MINIX demo disks and other files in this directory only for
- the purpose of evaluating MINIX to see if it is suitable for your
- needs.
