The Standards disk is not I'd be interested in a source only BSD'ish disk of FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 BSD .01 (or whatever the last version of the Jolitz BSD release was) The Net/2 tape/BSD Lite plus whatever "obsolete" else stuff that you can fit on there.

Of course, not only the kernel source but the source for the system commands would be needed.
