due: see home [1]page. this assignment has several parts. in the first part, students need to setup a minix environment. it is recommended that students use a minix virtual machine (vm). in the remaining parts, students will edit minix source and compile a new minix3 image. the specifics for these parts follows. part a: vmm and minix3. the vcl image for minix3 is being constructed. students may elect to install a vmm on their own machines. this will likely prove very useful, even if the vcl image is the primary development platform. the recommended virtual machine monitor is [2]vmware server, which can be [3]downloaded for [4]free. instructions for installing vmware and minix3 are given in [5]this message board post. students may use a different vmm. such examples include, but are not limited to, [6]virtualbox, [7]xen, [8]qemu, and [9]bochs. the last two are technically emulators, meaning the performance will be much less than with a vmm. students must produce a minix
