Hence you won't find it for public distribution. I've seen parts of 4.3BSD on some FTP servers. Maybe the ``Net/2'' BSD distribution would be sufficient for you? I think you can still find it on some servers, even though its legal status has never been cleared (i.e., has not been agreed on by every party, unlike 4.4BSD-Lite). Last time i checked, gatekeeper.dec.com still had a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 (which is Net/2-based). -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
