- Maybe opposite way.
- I always find source codes first, and since I don't want to spend time in
- downloading big souces and compiling them, I have to haunt around the
- binaries. If I fail to find them, then I had to get the sources and
- compile.
-
- Also, 20M for 386BSD is a bogus.
- You must have at least over 40M disk space to install 386BSD.
- Xserver for 386BSD is nonsense (to me). The size was around 10M !
