See you there. James PS. Get the official MINIX sources, and use a XX-to-YY translator or write your own that converts the assembler sources to NASM. It shouldn't be that difficult., or do it by hand, since there's not much of it. The C code is ANSI and GCC should handle it. Then you can rewrite the Makefiles and possibly add linker scripts for LD, and you'll have MINIX built on Linux in no time.
