Hi,

	I am going to take an operating systems class in about a
month, and I need to know if Minix (1.5.x or greater) will work
on my machine.  I have a Pentium 100 with a PCI bus and an Intel
Triton chipset.  My hard drive is a Western Digital Caviar 1.2GB
EIDE hard drive with my BIOS's LBA turned on.  I used Linux to
format a 50MB Minix partition which Minix will reside on.  Will
Minix work?
	Thanks!
