+HOW TO GET AND INSTALL MINIX 2.0.0
+
+This directory and subdirectories contains Minix version 2.0.0, a small
+educational UNIX-like system for IBM PC's and compatibles. 
+
+Note: The files here are the same as found on the MINIX 2.0 CDROM
+in the MINIX directory, except that the surrounding fluff, README's
+and such, is more suited to FTP or WWW users. 
+
+Before installing Minix, do the unthinkable and read the installation
+manual usage(8). It is in the following files in various forms: 
+
+  install.ps            - Postscript
+  install.t             - Troff -man source
+  install.txt           - Flat ASCII text
+
+  manuals/              - All other Minix manual pages
+
+Alternatively, with a web browser you can view the whole manual
+page set. The page to start with is usage(8). 
+
+Before fetching Minix, you should get the checksum list (to verify
+correct transmission and unpacking). If you do not already have it,
+you will need the program to compute the checksums on your
+machine, crc.c: 
+
+  crclist               - CRC's of all the files here
+  crc.c                 - Command to make CRC checksums
+
+Eventually, you may also want these files: 
+
+  changes-2.0.0         - List of changes between 1.7.4 and 2.0.0
+  upgrade-2.0.0         - How to upgrade from 1.7.4 to 2.0.0
+  bugs                  - List of bugs in 2.0.0
+  fixes/                - Fixes to bugs in 2.0.0
+  misc/                 - Additional documents: installation example,
+                          network config, XT installation.
+  ack/                  - ACK Modula-2 and Pascal compilers
+
+
+Minix for the Intel architecture comes in three flavors: 
+
+   - Regular (for 386, 486, and Pentium machines)
+   - Small (for 8086 and 286 machines)
+   - Tiny (for 8086 and 286 machines with small memories and/or 360K
+     diskette drives)
+
+For the regular distribution, use the i386 directory. For the small
+distribution, use the i86 directory. For the tiny distribution, use the
+both the i86 and xt directories. All these directories contain the
+executable programs of Minix. In addition, the src directory contains
+the full Minix source code, which is identical for all three flavors (the
+code contains #ifdef's where the difference matters). The following
+files can be found in these directories: 
+
+  i386:         ROOT USR USR.TAZ
+  i86:          ROOT USR USR.TAZ
+  xt:           README TINYROOT TINYUSR1 TINYUSR2 (360K images)
+  src:          SYS.TAZ CMD.TAZ
+
+The files with names ending in .TAZ are compressed tar archives, the
+other files are diskette images of the installation boot floppies. 
+
+The two installation floppies ROOT and USR can be combined on a
+1.2 Mb or 1.44 Mb diskette. The .TAZ files must be distributed over
+several floppies. Example for UNIX: 
+
+        cat ROOT USR >/dev/floppy
+        dd if=USR.TAZ of=/dev/floppy bs=1440k count=1 skip=0
+        dd if=USR.TAZ of=/dev/floppy bs=1440k count=1 skip=1
+        dd if=USR.TAZ of=/dev/floppy bs=1440k count=1 skip=2
+
+Increase the "skip" count until dd writes a diskette partially. 
+/dev/floppy should be the name of the floppy device. You have to
+find out what your Operating System names it today. Under MS-DOS
+you can use the FDVOL command found in the ../dosutil directory to
+write the floppy images. 
+
+Be careful when you install Minix, many of the commands are
+potentionally dangerous in a way that a simple typing mistake may
+destroy all other data on your system. So make backups first!
