Keywords: kernel sources BSD Lines: 23 Hello, Some people have been asking about how to get just the kernel sources instead of the whole thing. Here are the steps I took to get them. 1. FTP to agate.berkeley.edu (or anysite that has a tar capable ftp) 2. cd to /pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/filesystem/usr/src 3. type 'get sys.386bsd.tar.Z' and the system should open a path for /bin/tar and will also compress it. You can also type 'get sys.386bsd.tar' and you get just a tar file. 4. Take this file to your 386bsd system and un-tar in the /usr/src dir. 5. You now have the kernel sources to hack and break. Maybe someone who has a ftp site open could go do this and let the net know instead of overloading poor agate with tar transfers. Hope it helps.
