- Howdy. I am currently faced with the problem of getting a unix for my PC
- for cheap that will support slip and networking and be able to run some
- binaries that I need to have and I'm seriously considering 386BSD because of
- its apparent stable slip code. What I would like to know before I purchase a
- brand new Hard Drive (200MB) is whether or not I'm going to be able get
- source for Tinyfugue (latest version), and TinyMUCK to compile. These two
- binaries are the ones I am most concerned about, and would really like to know
- before I spend the money. If you have these running under 0.1 386BSD would
- you please let me know either on here, or by email to mmead@vtssi.vt.edu? I
- would greatly appreciate it. Also, am I correct in what I read about the
- installation program being able to download the system using slip and install
- it while downloading? If so, Kudos go to someone since that is one of the
- niftiest ideas I have seen in a while, eliminating a lot of the fuss with
- floppy transfer of files...then just moving it all back to the hard drive...
