1. REQUIREMENTS
The minimum system MINIX can be installed on comfortably is
an IBM PC/AT or PS/2 with a 286 processor, 640 KB memory, a
720 kb diskette drive, and 25-30 MB free space on an AT,
ESDI, or SCSI hard disk (the latter controlled by an Adaptec
1540.) MINIX for the 386 (MINIX-386 for short) can be
installed on a machine with at least a 386sx processor, 3 MB
memory and at least 25-30 MB of disk space.
