- Hello,
-
- Some people have been asking about how to get just the kernel sources
- instead of the whole thing. Here are the steps I took to get them.
-
- 1. FTP to agate.berkeley.edu (or anysite that has a tar capable ftp)
- 2. cd to /pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/filesystem/usr/src
- 3. type 'get sys.386bsd.tar.Z' and the system should open a path for
- /bin/tar and will also compress it. You can also type
- 'get sys.386bsd.tar' and you get just a tar file.
- 4. Take this file to your 386bsd system and un-tar in the /usr/src dir.
- 5. You now have the kernel sources to hack and break.
-
- Maybe someone who has a ftp site open could go do this and let the net know
- instead of overloading poor agate with tar transfers.
-
- Hope it helps.
