Installation steps:

  • Download minix2.img.zip and unzip it: unzip minix2.img.zip
  • Start the system with ./qemuminix2.sh (you will need QEMU installed).

To edit and recompile files:

  • Mount the root and usr partitions with ./mountminix2. Linux requires superuser permissions to mount a file system.
  • Make your edits to the code
  • Unmount the filesystems using ./umountminix2.sh (also requires sudo).
  • Start the system with ./qemuminix2.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, your files may be corrupted.
