+The installation manual can be found in the manual tree as usage.8.  On a
+UNIX machine you can unpack man.tar.Z and use the command
+
+        man -M minix-man-dir <subject>
+
+to read the manual pages.  Getting them printed is up to you.  If you
+can't format the manual pages in man.tar.Z then you can use cat.tar.Z
+instead.  It contains the same manual pages, but as flat text, with bold
+and italic codes removed.
+
+The installation floppies can be combined on a 1.2 Mb or 1.44 Mb
+diskette, the other images can be combined on 1.44 Mb floppies:
+
+        cat ROOT USR >/dev/fd0

+        ...
+
+(The USR.NN and SRC.NN series of images are simply two compressed tar
+files that have been broken up in 720 kb pieces.)
+"/dev/fd0" is a random floppy device name.  You have to find out what your
+Operating System names it today.
+
+Be careful when you install Minix, many of the commands are potentionally
+dangerous in a way that a simple typing mistake destroy all other data on
+your system.  So make backups first!

+Summary: MINIX by FTP !
+Lines: 44
+
+
+Prentice-Hall and I have decided to change our policy concerning MINIX.
+Starting shortly, MINIX 1.7.0 will be distributed free by FTP for
+educational and research use.
+
+The differences between Minix 1.6.25 and 1.7.0 for the PC are:
+
+- A 386 version
+- ANSI C compiler included
+- Loadable keymaps (for national keyboards)
+- Online manual pages (many new ones, but not complete)
+- Numerous little fixes
+- TCP/IP drivers and utilities (not as complete as one may hope)
+- Interrupt code restructured (readable, configurable)
+- Rebooting commands and kernel support (allows safe shutdown)
+- Booting from hard disk is now normal, booting from floppy the exception
+- Restructured device drivers:
+  + Support for up to four subpartitions in a Minix primary disk partition
+  + Support for up to four logical partitions per DOS extended partition
+  + Floppy partitions
+  + AT disk driver knows about IDE and should support EIDE
+  + Adaptec 1542A disk and tape driver (SCSI)
+
+A beta test version is now available for FTPing on ftp.cs.vu.nl in directory
+pub/minix/beta.  See the README file there for further instructions.  We would
+like people who want to be beta testers to fetch MINIX and test it.  Please
+report bugs to Kees Bot (kjb@cs.vu.nl).  Kees has done a huge amount of work
+preparing 1.7.0.  He and Philip Homburg have also produced a 32-bit virtual
+memory MINIX, which will be released to the net by FTP as soon as "classic"
+MINIX has been released and is stable.
+
+Manual page references you should read first: usage(8), boot(8), hier(7).
+Manual pages that document some of the differences with 1.6.25:
+boot(8), loadkeys(8), ip(4), hd(4), sd(4), fd(4), shutdown(8), usage(8).
+
+In addition, the MINIX book is being rewritten by myself and my co-author,
+Al Woodhull.  It will probably include all of MINIX on a CD-ROM in the
+back of the book.  We are hoping to finish it by Spring of 1996.
+
+I will be away at ICDCS-15 and various universities from 28 May until
+11 June.  I may read mail and news sporadically during that time, so it is
+better to send bug reports to Kees or post them to the newsgroup.

+The WrtDsk or RaWrite3 program can be used under MS-DOS to copy images
+to floppies.  The FIPS utility can be used to shrink an MS-DOS partition
+if the disk of the machine you wish to install Minix contains a single
+MS-DOS partition that covers the entire disk.  (As is often the case.)
+
+RaWrite3 may occasionally fail to recognize a diskette properly, there
+is no solution but to retry until you get it right.  WrtDsk is a brand
+new replacement for RaWrite that should not have these problems.  Please
+try it.  Note the disclaimers on all these programs, they mean it.  Back
+up your data first!
+
+WrtDsk allows one to write images to disk in one command:
+
+	wrtdsk ROOT USR USR.* SRC.*
+
+It allows you to redistribute the data on the floppies, so you can tag
+USR onto ROOT, and concatenate the USR.* and SRC.* images if your
+floppies are big enough.  Note that USR.01 and SRC.01 must be the first
+on a new floppy!
