-Welcome to MINIX 3 !\r
+Welcome to MINIX 3. This CD-ROM is a live CD. You can boot your computer\r
+from it and MINIX 3 will start automatically without using the hard\r
+disk. At the prompt, login as root. It works pretty much like any UNIX\r
+system in command line mode. You can have up to four virtual terminals\r
+open at once.\r
\r
-This CD is intended to be booted. It contains a MINIX system that you\r
-can run (a so-called "Live CD"). You can also install MINIX to your\r
-harddisk with it. Its contents are not visible here.\r
+Nevertheless, to do anything besides demonstrating MINIX 3, you need to\r
+install the system to your hard disk.\r

- PRESZ134.ZIP: A tool to help resizing partitions.\r
- BOOTFLP.IMG: If you can't boot from CD, write this image to a\r
- floppy and boot from it, while having the CD in a\r
- CD drive. The system on the floppy should find the\r
- CD and start up as if it had been booted from CD.\r
+This CD-ROM contains the following files visible from Windows or Linux:\r
