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.
