If you want a complete easy install package for installation of BSD, i would
recommend "NetBSD-0.8". But it is also not so difficult to begin with
"386bsd-0.1" and get the newest patchkit, this is "patchkit-0.2.3" and
built this together, a good initial test for the system.
You will find both of them on "bsd386.first.gmd.de" under "/usr2/src/...",
you must only use for "ftp" or for "rlogin" the name "guest" with
the password "guest" :-).
