  • I've installed Minix, but it come without pkgin!

    From Federico Pasqua@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 12 15:48:45 2017
    Hi, i'm new to Minix and i'm trying to learn this new world. I'm coming from FreeBSD and Linux.

    I've installed a new Minix on a machine for some testing from a CD i've compiled directly from Git branch 3.4.
    The problem is that the system comes with the script:
    pkgin_all
    pkgin_cd
    pkgin_sets

    but without pkgin! So i can't install things from internet.
    I've tried to install from the CD with pkgin_cd, but i CAN'T find what is the devname of my CD and so i'm unable to mount it.

    Why the systems from the CD comes without pkgin? Or it's a problem from the compiled version with releasetools/x86_cdimage.sh ?


    Thanks for your attention.

    You might try the minix3 user's group. I believe it's one of Google's
    groups so a search via Google should get you there. If you're interested
    in Minix's version 2.xx, try http://minix1.woodhull.com and/or www.minix-vmd.org. The 2.xx versions are pre internet, so there isn't the dependence or large size typical of the later versions.
