I was told a
month or so back that Minix 1.5.10 is now available for
downloading. I ran that on an XT (8088) with 640K RAM and it didn't seem
that tight.
Minix runs a bit tight in 640K. For example you can't compile the
kernel in 640K. I also don't think Minix will switch into protected mode in less than 1024K. You might want to do a
Google search to see
what state ELKS (the Embeddable Linux Kernel Subsystem) ended up in.
Can ELKS recompile itself? I got the impression that you built it on a
normal (386+) linux box and transfered the binaries over.
