What exactly is |> 386BSD 1.0 compared to 386BSD 0.2? What on earth is 386BSD 0.2 ?! No, don't tell me. Tell me something about 386BSD 1.0 instead. 1) What does it do ? 2) What things have been improved as compared to 0.1 ? 3) What sort of hardware does it support ? 4) Is it 100% AT&T-free ? 5) How big is it ? 6) Does it come with X11 ? If so, which version ? And see number 3). 7) Does it have shared libraries ? 8) Has it got a proper bootstrap that allows booting off an arbitrary block-special device, and an arbitrary kernel name, in single- and multi-user mode ? 9) etc. Please quit discussing this phantom operating system. At least as long as it is a phantom. Thanks, Bernard
