Older versions of FreeBSD

2004-12-19 Thread Al Bincarousky
Hello:

I am looking for older versions of FreeBSD. Any version 3.5.1 to 4.4. Is it 
possible to still download these versions? If not can it still be purchased on 
CD? Thank you for any information that you may be able to provide.

Regards,

Al

A lot depends on why you want them.  If you're collecting CDs, then
only the CD will do.  If you want to run them, you should reconsider.
If you're interested in them for academic reasons, you can check out
any version back to 2.0 from CVS.  For reasons related to the USL
wars, the repository for release 1 of FreeBSD isn't available, though
Caldera (now called "SCO") released the license a couple of years ago,
so if you find one, you're now allowed to use it.
