- Before Peter answers, I'll give you an alternative solution:
-
- I have unpacked the kernel sources from the src01 archive and repacked them
- in an "unofficial" archive.
- This package is available from
- ftp.uni-duisburg.de (134.91.4.132) in /pub/unix/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/kerndist.
-
- This is a tar.Z archive (in contrast to the other packages) and cannot be
- installed by 'extract'.
-
- Get the README.kerndist first.
-
- The package is 1.3 MB compressed in size, and 3.5 MB as the uncompressed tree,
- but you NEED 7-8 MB of free space on your disk (and of course the whole
- bindist package, which already contains parts of the kernel package).
- The remaining 3.5 - 4.5 MB, which make the difference between the tree and
- the required space, are needed for the compilation and the object files.
-
- Have fun, but retrieve the archive at night (local time = GMT+1) only.
