386bsd's Introduction

386bsd

386bsd - First open source BSD operating system, by William and Lynne Jolitz.

William Jolitz's 386bsd Notebook

All release's are currently inconsistent due to media failures and composing from undated partial copies as I'm able to extract them from drives, tapes, and floppies.

Basically, working through boxes of decades old stuff/notes. 0.1/1.0 are self-compiling on small memory systems (<32MB), and virtual machines like QEMU and Virtual Box.

So the branches are idiosyncratic WRT time, and 0.1/1.0 are the most useful at the moment (2.0's got the most lapses at the moment).

After it all gets sorted out, look for ".x" branch which will deal with the "going forward" stuff (from a second box!).

William Jolitz.

386bsd's Issues

Request: Change The license to BSD 3-Clause

386BSD has way too many Clauses, UC Berkeley Changed the License for 4.4BSD Lite2 to BSD 3-clause in 1999, So it would be nice to have 386BSD with only 3 Clauses.

Typo in /usr/share/dict/web2

The word "potate" appears in the dictionary. As far as I can tell it is not in any of the Webster's Dictionaries generally cited as a source for this dictionary.

It seems this typo has been in there at least since 1994. It is also in FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and OS X dictionaries, but it does not appear in any Linux dictionary I could find nor in the 4.2 or 4.3 BSD sources.

To be honest this is not critical but I'm kind of curious as to how it originated. I'm assuming it's a transcription error when the dictionary was typed in but this seems to be the place it first turned up.

Publish ISO

Could we get a VirtualBox-compatible ISO for installing 386BSD, so that we can setup 386BSD more easily?

Isolate off binaries, make a seperate installer

Let's reduce this repo into just source. In order to do that, we need to make at least a virtual machine environment that can compile the kernel and userland.

Once a VM can be downloaded and a fresh kernel installed into it, we can strip out the binaries.

Tiny 386BSD sources

If you ran into Tiny 386BSD whilst trawling through the boxes old stuff, can you consider publishing the sources? Any pointers on how to get them would be welcome.

The 0.1 boot floppy with all its warts and gems like `install' bailing on a diskless system with references to UNIX on a TV being against regulations deserves preservation for posterity.

I fully understand any hesitations due to licencing (DDJ Careware ?) issues, but please reach out if that's the case. TUHS (The UNIX Heritage Society) members fried bigger fish (SCO) before.

Need install instructions

I understand that i need only create a partition with a compatible filesystem and put the content on this repository inside him but, others users???

What filesystems does 386BSD support?
