Hello,

  does there exist any ftp site with all posted patches for 386bsd?

I know plains.nodak.edu (thank you, Glen Overby), but these patches aren't checked and they are not "error free". Config + make depend runs but make doesn't (some definitions in Makefile.i386 are missing, found in old one).

So I think it's a good idea to have a ftp site which holds all
checked, working patches or complete source files (much better) of an
"official up to date 386bsd".

I known it means somebody must spend some time, but on the other
side many people do not waste time to get the right work around.
Another point is that it's much easier to get a new complete release
of (386) bsd. Last but not least some people did the jobs.

May be I'm the only one who dreams :-)

Henry
