Hi

Im back into Minix 1.1 on a vanilla 8086 Olivetti M24

I transfered the 8 disk images with laplink wire and LPL3 to the hard drive 20MB to ms-dos

from there I use rawrite3 to my 5.25 disks.

I have disk1 for boot, disk2 for root and next disks for usr.

It works fine.

I cant remember which user disk contains the main unix commands ?
Disk3 and Disk4 have limited commands. If I remember some usr disks contain source code.

If someone has a list of the user disks content ? thank you
