You might remember some of the brouhaha that Novell raised with UC Berkeley over the 4.4 BSD release, last year? Well, as part of the settlement, Walnut Creek, which runs FreeBSD.cdrom.com (and does it free for us as a service to the FreeBSD community!) is not allowed to distribute versions of FreeBSD that were derived from the original 4.4BSD release, as 1.1.5.1 was. The fully blessed release, known as 4.4 BSD-Lite, is the basis for the new generations of FreeBSD, beginning at version 2.0, is available at FreeBSD.cdrom.com. There are lots of sites around that still have copies of the 1.1.5.1 release...I think world.std.com is one. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
