Lines: 22 Hi there, Is the source code for FreeBSD 2.0 complete, in the sense of no any kernel file removed? I just purchased a opy of 4.4BSD-Lite, CD-ROM Companion, with a CD disk which contains the source code for 4.4BSD-Lite. In its Overview, it says that it does not include the sources for the complete 4.4BSD system. I very confused by that statement. We know 4.4BSD is a complete unix operating system. But I thought 4.4BSD-Lite was a complete system too. (Am I wrong?) My understanding is that FreeBSD 2.0 is based on 4.4BSD-Lite. Does the 2.0 source code distriution contain all the files? Does it still have some kernel files removed? Thanks in davance if anyone could clearifyr that. Ching Shih shih@cithe312.cithep.caltech.edu
