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. > > Joe > -- > Josef Karthauser FreeBSD: How many times have you booted today? > Technical Manager Viagra for your server (http://www.uk.freebsd.org) > Pavilion Internet plc.
