FILE TRANSFERs from MINIX to HOST:
This gets files from minix VM to a host system ...
1. Set up a serial port mapped to output file for the Minix VM, say to c:\scratch.ser
2. start Minix virtual machine for which the serial port is setup
3. tar up the file(s) you want to move from Minix to Host:
tar cvf /tmp/mytempfile.tar /usr/src_modified
4. uencode the files and write directly to the serial port
uue /tmp/mytempfile.tar - >/dev/tty00
5. when uuencode returns prompt.. on Host machine copy the serial file to mytempfile.tar.uue
6. halt minix, close VM, delete the serial file (if it's big)
7. uudecode and untar using winzip/winrar ...
