This is a reminder that the Usenet news on 386bsd is available via anonymous
ftp from minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au [131.236.20.70], in the directory bsdnews.

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.

[ and here is the file `dates' ]
