earlier FBSD distributions...
How can I get ahold of the earlier versions of FBSOD, up to the initial release? I have tried looking for an archive on the web, and haven't been able to find any that aren't for exclusive users only.

If you're willing to go back before Jolitz' 386BSD or BSD44lite code, check out the CSRG Archives. Marshall Kirk McKusick offers a set of CD-ROMs with versions of the original BSD, up to BSD 1: http://www.mckusick.com/csrg/index.html They're not not freely available, because that ancient code was covered by a different license back then, so by buying those CD-ROMs you have to agree to those terms. But it's worth the hassle: there's very interesting code in there if you're an OS historian. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Thankyou. ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ or thereabouts has what looks like a fairly complete collection of FreeBSD releases. For older stuff including 386bsd and 4.4BSD-lite there's the archive at ftp://minnie.tuhs.org/BSD/ -- Peter N. M.
