True, but on my previous install of 386bsd (which had a disk-space
problem), i just ftp-ed to agate.berkeley.edu, to the 386bsd
directory, then went to the 'filesystem/usr/src/' subdir and
did
get sys.386bsd.tar.Z
which did the trick.
PS: for people with at least 30MB free, but not 50MB, and who wanna get
the srcdist on their computers, I think I may still have a script
lying around which I wrote which just reads the 11 or so floppies full
of src01.xx files and de-zcat/cpios them (so you don't need a 17MB
temp file :)
