+This directory contains MINIX version 2.0.0 for the PC in the following
+files:
+
+	i386\ROOT	- Minix boot & root floppy image (386 and better)
+	i386\USR	- Floppy image with programs needed for installation
+	i386\USR.TAZ	- All Minix programs, libraries, etc.
+	SYS.TAZ		- System sources and manual pages
+	CMD.TAZ		- Commands sources
+	INSTALL.TXT	- Installation guide (ASCII text)
+	INSTALL.PS	- Installation guide (PostScript)
+	MANUALS		- Minix manual pages
+	EXAMPLE.TXT	- Example screen images of an installation
+        NETINSTL.TXT    - Notes about installing networking
+        XT640K.TXT      - Notes about running MINIX on older machines
+        
+The installation guide can be found in INSTALL.TXT (ASCII text), or
+INSTALL.PS (PostScript format).  It describes the Minix installation
+procedure from floppies.  Additional manuals are present in the
+MANUALS directory.  If INSTALL.TXT refers to another manual page,
+boot(8) for instance, then MANUALS\CAT8\BOOT.8 contains boot(8) as
+ASCII text, MANUALS\PS8\BOOT.8 is in PostScript, and MANUALS\MAN8\BOOT.8
+is the original unformatted text (UNIX nroff).  All these manual
+pages can be viewed online under Minix with the man(1) command after
+installing the SYS.TAZ set.  Try 'man man' or 'man 8 boot'.  The
+EXAMPLE.TXT file may be nice to read to see how Minix is installed.
+
+But before attempting to install you will have to put Minix on
+floppies.  For a 386, 486, or Pentium using 1.44 MB floppies on drive
+A: you must make four sets of floppies.  Type each of these commands in
+turn to make them.  You will be prompted to insert floppies.  You do
+not have to install SYS.TAZ and CMD.TAZ initially, but life is much
+simpler if you have 9 floppies and make each set right now.  Be sure to
+label each floppy with the file name and volume number.
+
+        fdvol 1440 A: i386\ROOT i386\USR    - Combined ROOT+USR floppy
+        fdvol 1440 A: i386\USR.TAZ          - Base system on 3 floppies
+        fdvol 1440 A: SYS.TAZ               - System sources on 2 floppies
+        fdvol 1440 A: CMD.TAZ               - Commands sources on 3 floppies
+
+Use 1200 to specify 1.2M floppies.  Likewise for 720k floppies, except
+that you have to put ROOT and USR installation images on two separate
+floppies:
+
+        fdvol 720 A: i386\ROOT              - Separate ROOT and USR
+        fdvol 720 A: i386\USR
+        fdvol 720 A: i386\USR.TAZ          
+        fdvol 720 A: SYS.TAZ              
+        fdvol 720 A: CMD.TAZ            
+
+The i86 directory contains the installation and base system material to
+install the 16-bit version of Minix for old XTs and 286 based ATs.  If
+the intended machine has little memory or a 360k drive then read
+XT\README.TXT and use the installation floppy images in the XT directory
+instead of the regular ROOT and USR.
+
+After you have installed MINIX, you may wish to install some of the other
+files on the CD ROM.  The SMX and BOCHS programs are simulators that sun
+on UNIX workstations, so you must transfer them there using a modem and
+unpack and use them there.  The other .TAZ files should be copied to
+floppies using fdvol.  To reconstruct a .TAZ file on a sequence of 1.44 MB
+floppies via drive A:, boot MINIX, log in, and type:
+
+        setup dir
+
+Where 'dir' is the directory where a package is to be installed.  Use
+'install -d dir' to create the directory if it doesn't yet exist.
+The README.TXT files for each package hold more detailed information.
+
+
+In summary:
+    1. You should now have a BOOT floppy (or ROOT + USR floppies).
+    2. A set of floppies for USR.TAZ, SYS.TAZ, and CMD.TAZ.
+    3. A free hard disk partition, or at least enough space not in any
+       partition that you can create a new partition in this space.
+    4. Now read INSTALL.TXT and follow it carefully.
