I've recently been exploring MINIX 1.1 and put together a dev environment containing the MINIX source code and a vendored-in 8086/8088 cross-compiler (dev86/Bruce's C Compiler). This allows me to build a compatible compiler, the entire MINIX tree, including libc and utilities, with a couple of `make` commands. It also produces 360K floppy images to run on both an IBM PC simulator like 86Box or on the metal.

Sharing here in case anyone finds it useful

Thanks a lot for this! is it possible to publish it on DockerHub ? I'd definitely like to run and use it as a docker container?
