   Sometime ago I asked for a FAQ for 386bsd and I got responses of the kind
"There isn't such a thing" or saying that there was one somewhere but it was
very out of date. I have no intentions of using 386bsd in the near future but
a friend  of mine who lives in other country and has no access to internet
wants it. So my question is where/how can I get the most complete, up-to-date,
state-of-the-art, clean distribution of 386bsd? (Don't tell me something like
"get a file from here, another from there, apply a dozen of patches...")
I want to stress that I want a complete-clean-working version, because my
friend cannot get and apply new patches and bug fixes every other day.
I would like to know also if somebody distributes disks/cd-rom of 386bsd,
how many disks are? what is the price? Do they include sources?
You can reply to either of the addresses below. Thank you very much.
