you have three questions.
(a) Which OS should be obtained first, DOS or BSD?
BSD386 ofcourse. First get the INSTALL.NOTES with another unix machine,
read this. Then download the installation floppy, and take this with you
to the PC shop. Ask for a machine that runs this floppy. See inst.notes
for supported HW and settings.
(b) Could I use DOS to download the UNIX shareware. If not, How
the shareware can be download, and be installed on the PC.
No the DIST.FS floppy with an supported networkcard (i.e. NE2000) is enough
Hook your empty machine to the network, boot from the downloaded floppy, and
ftp the whole os to your machine. See inst.notes.
(c) Is the 386BSD 0.1 supporting SLIP.
Yes.
