+This directory and subdirectories contains MINIX version 1.7.0, a small
+UNIX-like system for IBM PC's and compatibles.
+
+This version beta test software, as it contains a lot of new code that
+has only been run by a small number of people.  You have been warned.
+Please send any bug reports to the person named below.
+
+You can find the following files in this tree:
+
+  cat.tar.Z             - Manual pages in formatted form (avoid!)
+  crc.c                 - Command to make CRC checksums
+  crclist               - CRC's of all these files
+  i86/                  - /usr - 8086 binaries
+  i386/                 - /usr - 386 binaries
+  man.tar.Z             - Manual pages (use these if you can!)
+  src/                  - /usr/{include,src,man}
+
+  i86:
+  i386:
+  ROOT    USR           - Installation floppies images, 600 kb each
+  USR.01  USR.02        - /usr images made by this command:
+  USR.03  USR.04                tar cf - * | compress | vol 720 /dev/fd0
+  USR.05
+  TINYROOT              - Needed for an XT or an AT with little memory.  It
+                          is an extra, you need ROOT too.
+
+  src:
+  SRC.01  SRC.02        - /usr/include, /usr/src, /usr/man
+  SRC.03  SRC.04
+  SRC.05  SRC.06
+  SRC.07  SRC.08
+
+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
+        cat USR.01 USR.02 >/dev/fd0             (odd, even pairs)
+        cat USR.03 USR.04 >/dev/fd0
+        ...
+        cat SRC.01 SRC.02 >/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!
