This is a little off-topic, but is there an ftp site where I can still
download a boot floppy and an ISO CD image of FreeBSD 2.2.8?   I've just
found a perfectly good 386 (DX-40, 4Mb RAM, 105Mb HDD) -- someone just
threw it away and left it standing next to my office.   I want to
install FreeBSD on this poor little thing, and think that 2.2.8 would be
much more suitable for it than 3.4 or 4.0, because older a.out binaries
are smaller than ELF ones, as are the various kernel components, which
had greatly increased in size over the years.

Let's just say I was very surprised when I couldn't find 2.2.8 anymore -
I think I did a similar ftp install on a 486 less than a year ago.
