MINIX Copyright Notice

This file is taken from the MINIX ftp site:

This directory and subdirectories contain MINIX, a small UNIX-like system for IBM PC's and compatibles. The prime objective of Minix is education. Major parts of it can be studied and understood by one person in a limited amount of time. Minix is a redesign, using a modern microkernelish setup.

Minix is free for educational use only, read the Minix license-to-use at the end of this file. You have to agree to its terms if you want to use this software.

You can find the following directories in this tree:

Files with suffix .Z are compressed, files with suffix .tar are archives of files. Use one of to uncompress or unpack compressed files, archives, and compressed archives. Our FTP server allows you to transfer entire directory trees in a single command if you reference the directory with .tar attached to its name. So you could get 1.7.1.tar in one blow if you want to, but note that you probably do not want everything in a given directory. Inspect the contents of a directory first.
