I have been using 386bsd 0.1 for a long time now, quite stable, so I
haven't been following how the system is evolving, so my first question
is quick:  in a sentence or two, how has it evolved since plain old
0.1 was available at agate many moons ago?

Secondly, I am now using NFS for the first time.  I hear that the
"permissions denied" problem for allowing world/other access rights
is related to running a "secure" system; I have no need for security at
all, so is there some way I can configure the server to just get around
this problem without having to upgrade past 0.1?  (Sort of related to
the first question... I'm not much of a newest-and-greatest-version person.)

THANK YOU!!  e-mail would be nice, but i'm probably gonna start following
this movement again...
