MINIX logo   Sparc version
The file SMX200.TAZ is a compressed tar file that contains beta release 1 of the version of Solaris Minix (smx) that is based on Minix 2.0.0. It will only operate under Solaris 2 (Solaris 2.4 and 2.5 have been used without problems) and must be compiled with the GNU C compiler, gcc. This compiler is included on the MINIX CD ROM as GCC-272.TAZ

To install smx you should:

1. Copy SMX200.TAZ to a Sun running Solaris 2. On arrival, it should be 11235655 bytes long.
2. When you run /usr/bin/sum on SMX200.TAZ, it should report: 9577 21945 SMX200.TAZ
3. Change the name from SMX200.TAZ to smx200.tar.Z
4. Uncompress smx200.tar.Z using the command line: uncompress smx200.tar.Z
5. Extract the file doc/smx_ps from the smx200.tar archive using the command line: tar xvf smx200.tar doc/smx_ps

smx_ps is a postscript file that contains (amongst many other things) installation instructions for smx.
