	I'm running Minix 2.0.2 on both a 8088 and 80286 (with 640k). With 
TCP/IP enabled, there is RAM space for only a couple of extra processes 
(I can't remember the exact amount; I mean "extra" as appart from the 
minimal getty's, sh's and so on), so you can not even type "make", since 
if spawn some extra subprocesses (compiler, linker,...) and runs out of 
memory.
	Minix 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 are supposed to swap to disk, but are said to be 
too large to run on 640k.
