Sorry about that.  The 2.2.5 CD-ROM came out before the book, and it
contains the files on the third (repository) CD-ROM as a single
gzipped tar file /xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz.  It contains the
following files:

drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh           0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/
drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh           0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/mutt/

To extract one of these files, say cfbsd/docs/packages.txt, and
assuming you have the CD-ROM mounted as /cdrom, enter:

  # cd /usr/share/doc
  # tar xvzf /cdrom/xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz cfbsd/docs/packages.txt

These files are an early version of what is described in the book.
I'll put up some updated versions on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/ Real Soon
Now.
