Hi everyone,
I am very new to Minix and i am trying to run it on a virtual machine
by using VMware Player.
Can anyone explain me how to mount the VMware shared folder to Minix?
I am using Minix Version 3.1.7.

Thanks,
schroedinger

I don't think that's possible, try setting up a network and use scp.

Hello,

Use the following command to mount the entire shared folder hierarchy
on /mnt:

mount -t hgfs none /mnt

See 'man hgfs' for details and options. This assumes that you have
already properly set up shared folders in vmware itself first.

Regards,
David
