This tutorial will walk the reader through setting up Minix 2.0.4 on Windows XP via Bochs 2.1.1. These are the latest versions of Minix, Bochs and Windows XP as of May of 2004.

Hence, this article will also serve as an introduction to one such alternative, Minix, which has a very rich heritage, indeed.
