+<title>Minix 1.7.0</title>
+<pre>
+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:
+
+  <a href="cat.tar.Z">cat.tar.Z</a>		- Manual pages in formatted form (avoid!)
+  <a href="crc.c">crc.c</a>			- Command to make CRC checksums
+  <a href="crclist">crclist</a>		- CRC's of all these files
+  <a href="i86">i86/</a>			- /usr - 8086 binaries
+  <a href="i386">i386/</a>			- /usr - 386 binaries
+  <a href="man.tar.Z">man.tar.Z</a>		- Manual pages (use these if you can!)
+  <a href="src">src/</a>			- /usr/{include,src,man}
+
+  <a href="i86">i86</a>:
+  <a href="i386">i386</a>:
+  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.
+
+  <a href="src">src</a>:
+  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 <a href="http://nano.am.cs.vu.nl/man/Minix/1.7.0/whatis.html">manual tree</a> as <a href="http://nano.am.cs.vu.nl/man/Minix/1.7.0/man8/usage.8.html">usage.8</a>.  On a
+UNIX machine you can unpack man.tar.Z and use the command
+
+	man -M minix-man-dir &lt;subject&gt
+
+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!
