- The FAQ is incorrect. I had it running on my A3000 last Fall semester for an
- operating system's class.

- The way to get updates, etc. is that you get them through A-DOS, then use a
- transfer disk to get them into MINIX. (Very similar for the procedure used to
- change the kernel actually). The kernel itself resides on the A-DOS side, which
- makes it easy to change. Other than that, there are commands on the A-DOS side
- for the transfer and commands on the MINIX side for the transfer.
