Surely I am exaggerating from memory. It looks like the base system for Minix could fit on one HD floppy (1.44MB). My PS/2 HDD was only 20MB, and I recall having enough free space after the install. For Minix 1.5, there's another estimate here of 9 DD floppies -- 6.5MB compressed. That seems about right. I definitely went for the compiler and all the accessories. The C compiler was far from ANSI-compliant and barely K&R. It made for some interesting times. Minix 3 is BSD-licensed, and distributed on CD-ROM now, and can still be purchased from Pearson! https://www.pearson.com/en-us/subject-catalog/p/operating-systems-design-and-implementation/P200000003167/9780133002058 https://www.pearson.com/en-us/subject-catalog/p/operating-sy...
