I didn't understand cvs back then, but that's not your point, I think.
When FreeBSD had all the legal problems, when we had to go to the new
BSD 4.4 codebase ('helped' along legally by AT&T) the old code base had
to go into the dumper. I don't think anything older than FreeBSD
version 2.0 is in the cvs archive anymore. If you want old stuff, you
have to rely on friends. The demand isn't overwhelming; while most
everyone from that era remembers the reliability of 1.1.5.1, our newest
code base is *so* improved, I wouldn't swap.
Like I said before, I have those old cdroms (so do many of us). If you
get Jordan's ok, I'd be happy to copy them for media costs and mail
costs. I don't *think* WC can sell those anymore, else I wouldn't offer
this at all.
