Hope I'm in the right Echo and don't incur the wrath of the 
monitor!

I just installed MINIX on a 35 Meg partition that I made at the 
end of my C: drive using FIPS.  I got the CD-ROM in a book 
entitled Operating Systems by Andrew Tanenbaum, who as most of 
you know, also wrote MINIX. The detailed installation instructions 
in various text files were just what I needed.  It went on well 
and seems to run fast on my K6.

When I type in commands verbatim from the CD-ROM, all the right 
things happen.  But I can't find commands on lots of other things 
I want to do, like mounting drives for instance.  The standard 
Linux commands, such as "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt" don't seem 
to work.  The MINIX man page example lists "mount /dev/fd1 /usr".  
That makes the B:drive light come on but gives the prompt 
"dev/fd1 is not a special file".  

I know MINIX was written for student training, not to be user 
friendly, which may be a factor.  Anybody know where there is a 
list of commands?  Sounds like what should be in man.  Maybe a 
smarter operator is needed.
