I'd be inclined to read and print out the appropriate man pages -
if you can't print them from Minix, copy them across to a msdos
floppy and print them from there.  It's too complicated to explain
in a message, and there's too much chance of forgetting some small
but vital step.  Most of the man.8 pages are relevant to what you
need to do.  It will be more difficult because of the small amount
of memory.

Good luck - Will
