Lines: 27 Message-ID: <26j3hu$aq2@salmon.maths.tcd.ie> NNTP-Posting-Host: salmon.maths.tcd.ie Summary: Can I share code between different shades of 386BSD? Keywords: Unix 386BSD Minix Linux I've just bought a 345MB hard disk for my 386, and am thinking of installing one or more of Linux, 386BSD, NetBSD, etc. At present I have 4 partitions on my 80MB disk: a DOS partition a 16-bit Minix (PC-Minix) partition a 32-bit Minix (386-Minix) partition an /src partition I can share the /src files between 16- and 32-bit Minix. Can I do something similar, say with Minix and 386BSD, or Minix and Linux? Are the file systems compatible? (I couldn't find an answer to this in the various FAQ's I looked at.) I hadn't realised a civil war had broken out in the 386BSD world. Seems sad, but there you are. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: tim@maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
