You don't say what you need it for. O'Reilly has the 4.4BSD-Lite distribution on CD-ROM, and I believe that Walnut Creek does as well. This is source code only. Walnut Creek distributes FreeBSD for i386 architecture (PC compatable) machines on CD-ROM. This seems to have the easiest install (though the FreeBSD install on the Infomagic CD may be just as easy--I've not tried it) and it certainly has the best cover art. :-) Infomagic distributes BSDisc, which has both FreeBSD 2.0 and NetBSD 1.0 on it. It's the latest release of NetBSD, but not of FreeBSD. NetBSD runs on many different architectures. cjs -- Curt Sampson curt@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
