Minnie is running 386bsd, and is offering an archie-like method of searching through the 386bsd news from June 1992 onwards -- telnet minnie, login as bsdnews, and type `help'. This service is also available via email: send mail to bsdnews@minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au, with the word `help' in the body of the mail. Minnie also has the bin01 distribution and all the patch-kits archived, and when I obtain a second 150M ESDI drive, will have src01, etc01, and Xfree86 as well. Anyway, here is the ftp Readme.... Welcome to the 386BSD news archive on minnie. This contains the Usenet news articles from comp.unix.bsd and comp.os.386bsd.* since just after 386BSD 0.1. The archive is kept as a set of gzip files, each containing 100 news articles. For example, 3400.tar.z contains articles 3400 to 3499. The archive is kept in directories containing groups of 10 gzip files. For example, the directory 06000 holds files 6000.tar.z to 6900.tar.z. The `subjects' directory holds the files with the subject line. For example, 03000subject holds the subject lines for files 3000 to 3999. These files are ordered by subject, not by article number. I have edited out those articles related to the USL/BSDI suit etc. etc. The file `dates' gives you a rough chronology of the files archived on minnie.
