It has always been. O'Reilly has been publishing it in its ``CD-ROM companion'' to their 4.4BSD documentation series. Walnut Creek CDROM is also publishing it on a CD, and is going to distribute the upgrade version (4.4-Lite2) now. Note that 4.4BSD-Lite is *not* a working operating system, its a ``torso'' containing about 95 % of a working system. I don't know if any ftp server keeps the plain 4.4BSD source tree. Anyway, you will find the NetBSD and FreeBSD source trees mirrored on many ftp servers, both systems are 4.4BSD-based with full source availability. Unlike plain 4.4BSD, both systems constitute a working system, in the NetBSD case even on multiple platforms. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de [private: http://www.sax.de/~joerg/]
