Two possible meanings; a system image for a Mini-Unix system (buildable under
V6 with the standard V6 tool-chain of C-compiler/assembler/linker), and user
command binaries (buildable with the

No, it looks like it uses a different fie-system layout.
Besides; there's not much point: the big adantage of using V6 is that one can
use the V6 tool-chain to

Good basic idea (using a different system to build on), but there's a
better/easier approach (in the same basic vein): bring up V6, and mount the RK
pack
If we can't use MINIUNIX to rebuild MINIUNIX kernel, should we try to bodge
together rebuilding via apout? I have done some work there for 2.11BSD
stuff, but didn't need it for bootstrapping (just needed to use it to
bootstrap as).

I've got Riordan's udis[01..10].DSK disk images that I presume
are similar to
