Compile Minix/ Rebuild Os

The Minx libraries, code for all operating system processes can be recompiled and installed in the proper places by the following:

  1. Log in as root
  2. Change directories to /usr/src/tools
  3. At the # prompt, type:
    # make clean install
    
  4. Wait while the system is recompiled and installed.
  5. Check that any users are logged out.
  6. Shutdown the system:
    # shutdown
    
  7. Reboot: At the boot prompt type 'menu' to get:
     1 Start Minix 3
     2 Start Custom Minix 3   
           
    

    Be sure to choose 2. This will load the new image you just built. Choosing 1 seems to boot the original boot image - which would be very confusing!
