-on your hard disk. Detailed instal- lation instructions are given in the\r
-SETUP.PDF file. To read this file, you need the Adobe Acrobat Reader,\r

-contains the same content in PostScript. Please be sure to read one of\r
-these files before attempting to install MINIX 3 as you must partition\r
-your hard disk before starting and this subject is discussed in the\r
-SETUP files. These SETUP files are also available on the MINIX 3\r
-Website: http://www.minix3.org/doc. Please have a printed copy of the\r
-SETUP file available while you are doing the installation, as it will be\r
-very helpful to you then.\r
