Get the dists/bin/* files, and whatever you might need from the other
distributions.  In particular, dists/src/ssys* comes handy (the kernel
sources), as well as dists/doc/* and dists/manpages/*.  If you want
X11, also get dists/XF86312/ (there's a README).

Don't forget to get the boot floppy (floppies/...)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
