Installation steps:

  • Download minix3.1.0-book-version-harddisk.img.zip and unzip it: unzip minix3.1.0-book-version-harddisk.img.zip
  • Start the system with ./qemuminix3.sh (requires superuser on Linux; you will also need QEMU).

To edit and recompile files:

  • Mount the root, usr, and home partitions with ./mountminix3. Linux requires superuser permissions to mount a file system.
  • Make your edits to the code (for a start, maybe try modifying the boot message).
  • Unmount the filesystems using ./umountminix3.sh (also requires sudo).
  • Start the system with ./qemuminix3.sh
  • Once running MINIX, you can recompile with: cd /usr/src/tools && make install. After restarting the system, you will see your changes take effect.

Tips:

  • Be careful to always run CTRL+ALT+DEL prior to closing out QEMU! If not, it's possible for your files to be corrupted.
