- Out of the box, MacMinix does not run under System 7, from what I have
- read here. Every time someone posts a question about MacMinix, s/he
- is told that there are patches available to make it boot under System
- 7. I would like to know how you can apply patches and recompile the
- kernel if you cannot boot Minix in the first place?
-
- In any case, System 6.0.8 will also run on the Powerbooks (the Powerbook
- 100, anyway). Perhaps MacMinix will boot out of the box then?
