There was a 'Password:' prompt so I downloaded again and
this time no prompt. Strange?

I'm now trying to install the i86 version to an XT with 640k memory
and run out of memory. 
Are there any clues to squeezing minix into 640K. There's
a 20M HD ready to partition but I can't get to it without shifting
files around to mount /usr?
