It was published in Dr. Dobb's Journal. IIRC the official name for the release was 386BSD. I remember installing on a PC in our lab back at UofT. You had to have just the right hardware since it didn't' have a lot of device drivers... Lots of people did patches, but there was only one official patch level ... Patch level 0.1 ?!? NetBSD kind of forked from that. I remember some of the original crew - Chris, Theo and was it Alistair? That was all back in the days of newsgroups. I was getting comp.os.* via a UUCP feed from utzoo. Ah... The good old times... Cheers alex
