The way to make this happen is to remove it from the archive sites. Consider this typical scenario- Somebody hears about 386bsd, maybe at a party, maybe from a back issue of DDJ, maybe it was a few months ago, but now's the time to check it out. % archie 386bsd >>tons of archive sites reported<< % Pnews Subject: I can't get 386bsd 0.1 to work... If you are an archive operator, at least put a note in the 386bsd tree that points out that it is obsolete and directs people to Netbsd and Freebsd. If you know an archive operator, please pass the word along.
