Agate.berkeley.edu, and other servers as well, have a 'filesystem' subdirectory in the 386bsd tree which is unpacked. Some of these ftp servers use the "wuarchive server code", which allows retrieval of a whole subtree as a compressed tar archive. For a directory <dir>, enter from the parent directory the following ftp command: get <dir>.tar.Z (replace <dir> with real name, dont enter < > ) Ftp.uni-duisburg.de has the original kernel code unbundled as a splitted tar.Z in a directory /pub/unix/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/kerndist named kern01.0[0-5] (~1.3 MB). The kernel source + objects need 7-8 MB FREE space on the disk. The source for sz/rz is in the etc01 distribution.
