I just want to install it and see how it Contact to Berkeley Software Design, Inc. Or please read the name of these newsgroups more carefully. It's not BSD386 but 386BSD. They look similar but are totally different things though they both are based on Net/2. >all works.

You can use it to look for FAQ or any file anonymous ftp sites have. You have neither to ask on the net "where's the FAQ?" nor to say "this might be a FAQ..."

I don't want to convince anyone to use 386BSD.
