This is a follow-up to the recent 2.10BSD announcement,
to clarify its current state.
The USENIX Association has started shipping tapes.
They have provided informational packets to approximately 35
sites, and have requests for approximately 20 tapes. They
are currently having a minor problem with sites that are not
returning all the requested information, in particular, the
type of tape drive that will be used to boot from. Order
forms for 2.10BSD may also be found in the next issue of the
USENIX magazine, ``Login:''.
The networking is being shipped as part of the current
system. Hardware support is provided for the DEQNA, DEUNA,
Interlan, and SLIP. If anyone is interested in getting the
Pronet hardware support running, please contact me, I'd be
interested in seeing it done. The networking is NOT in
supervisor space, and will therefore run on any machine with
split I/D space. If anyone is interested in porting the
networking to supervisor space, please contact me, I'd be
interested in seeing it done.

Is there an ftp server anywhere that has 2.10 BSD. I am interested in uploading it and hacking it to death. Thanks in advance, Scott Bulmahn sbulmahn@yoyodyne.ncsa.uiuc.edu --

No. It is a UNIX derivative and therefore is licensed software, available only after suitable legal formalities (although some parts of it are not derived from AT&T UNIX and therefore can be made available for FTP). -- The 486 is to a modern CPU as a Jules | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology Verne reprint is to a modern SF novel. | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
