I've got 386BSD 0.1 on some 30-odd 1.2 MB floppies. :) Too bad, i trashed my 0.0 floppies. > I think the last version realeased was 0.2? was it not? thanks in advance. Nope, 0.2 was the long-awaited vaporware version that never actually happened, and that finally caused the NetBSD and FreeBSD groups to independently found their projects, based on the 386BSD 0.1.2.4 (version 0.1 patchkit level 0.2.4) source tree. There also was a 386BSD 1.0, but it was available on a commercial CD-ROM only, for a bunch of money, mainly intended as an educational piece of work. Barely runnable on any real-world machine. Have you looked whether gatekeeper.dec.com might still have 386BSD 0.1? :) -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
