No need. >Is FreeBSD binary compatible with 386BSD + patchkits ? Of course. Backwards compatability has always been a goal, and anytime that isn't possible an upgrade path will be provided. >Is FreeBSD filesystem compatible with 386BSD + patchkits (can I mount >a 386BSD filesystem)? Same 'ol, same 'ol. You can even upgrade to FreeBSD using a set of scripts I wrote for that very purpose which don't requite a re-install. There on FreeBSD.cdrom.com in the tools/upgrade directory. >Is there a mailing list to track and report bugs, or does one >use the comp.os.386bsd groups? Bug reports get better responses when sent to the FreeBSD mailing lists. Send mail with a body of help to majordomo@freefall.cdrom.com to find out about the mailing lists.
