I have successfully installed the binary distribution on a CompuAdd
386/25 TX notebook. UNfortunately, I have only 25 MB left on a the orginal
58.5 MB drive. As such, I was wondering if there were sites which had the
 distribution unpacked in tree form instead of the standard distribn.
I would really want the src for at least the kernel and some utils to
look at ... after all, why have 386BSD in the first place ;^)
If the distribution is in a tree I can ftp and tar it and then
extract it in parts ... help please ! ;^)
Also, I was wondering if there was PD src for the zmodem send program
as well as the receive program rz which work together ... The local sz
I have has some incompatibilities with the rz in /usr/distbin.

I have read the FAQ in agate and would appreciate any ptrs to any other
FAQ available ...
Arthur!!
