I've a lock some days ago, and missing the new book of McKusik et
al. "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD". Sorry, can't get the
isbn and the exact title, but is's really a good book as you know I'm
sure, which should be mentioned cause it's more close to FreeBSD 2.X as
the previous version "...... 4.3BSD"
I just lock it up, that's the URL:
