386BSD RELEASE 0.0
|
||||
REGISTRATION FORM
|
||||
AND SURVEY
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As of 1992, William F. Jolitz, the developer of 386BSD,
|
||||
will have spent three years working on this project, from
|
||||
writing the initial 386BSD specification and supplying his
|
||||
own equipment to his present completion of the first UNEN-
|
||||
CUMBERED SOURCE BSD SYSTEM FOR THE 386/486. This first
|
||||
release, 386BSD Release 0.0, is based on the BSD Networking
|
||||
2 Release (June 1991) from the University of California at
|
||||
Berkeley, which already included much of the earlier 386BSD
|
||||
work that Bill had contributed to the University of Califor-
|
||||
nia for distribution to all interested parties. In addi-
|
||||
tion, Bill has made minimal changes to this release to make
|
||||
the system bootable and operational (see William F. Jolitz
|
||||
and Lynne Greer Jolitz, _M_i_s_s_i_n_g _P_i_e_c_e_s, _D_r. _D_o_b_b_s _J_o_u_r_n_a_l
|
||||
May-June 1992).
|
||||
|
||||
386BSD Release 0.0 is intended by the developer of
|
||||
386BSD to be used for educational and research purposes. As
|
||||
such, the developer of this release is making it available
|
||||
to the user at no charge, in order to encourage and facili-
|
||||
tate its use in research and education. However, 386BSD has
|
||||
been a costly product to develop and maintain, and continues
|
||||
to consume enormous resources. As such, the user may elect
|
||||
to make a contribution to defray the cost of development and
|
||||
to demonstrate support of this project.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you with to make a contribution, return this
|
||||
form with your check or money order (suggested contribution:
|
||||
$50.00US binary and $100.00US source) to

|

|
||||
There is no mandatory payment required by the developer for
|
||||
use of 386BSD Release 0.0, nor will there be any mandatory
|
||||
payment required for the use of any future releases of
|
||||
386BSD done by the developer. However, your contribution
|
||||
would be greatly appreciated.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the "free" nature of 386BSD Release 0.0, we can-
|
||||
not provide "on-demand" support. 386BSD is an experimental
|
||||
research system intended for exploration and study. The
|
||||
inclusion of source code allows the creative and industrious
|
||||
student of operating systems to modify, correct, augment and
|
||||

||||

|

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
otherwise alter the system in any manner desired. Reliance
|
||||
on 386BSD Release 0.0 for other than it's intended purposes
|
||||
is specifically discouraged.
|
||||
|
||||
However, ample documentation is readily available and
|
||||
should be obtained. For users who wish to understand the
|
||||
386BSD system conceived by William F. Jolitz and Lynne Greer
|
||||
Jolitz, and developed by William F. Jolitz, we recommend the
|
||||
user study written references such as the _P_o_r_t_i_n_g _U_N_I_X _t_o
|
||||
_t_h_e _3_8_6 series (beginning January 1991 _D_r. _D_o_b_b_s _J_o_u_r_n_a_l,
|
||||
USA and beginning June 1991 _U_N_I_X _M_a_g_a_z_i_n, Germany) by
|
||||
William F. Jolitz and Lynne Greer Jolitz, as well as other
|
||||
books on UNIX and the on-line _3_8_6_B_S_D _U_s_e_r _M_a_n_u_a_l before use.
|
||||
A book discussing the internals of 386BSD by William F.
|
||||
Jolitz and Lynne Greer Jolitz entitled _3_8_6_B_S_D _f_r_o_m _t_h_e
|
||||
_I_n_s_i_d_e-_O_u_t will be available late 1992.
|
||||
|
||||
We do encourage feedback, however, on bug fixes, prob-
|
||||
lems and solutions which arise during configuration, and
|
||||
improvements to 386BSD Release 0.0. These changes will be
|
||||
incorporated back into the system, and made available once
|
||||
again to the 386BSD audience, to further encourage use of
|
||||
this system.

||||

||||

|

|

The developer's goal for 386BSD was to provide an
|
||||
advanced operating system for educational and research pur-
|
||||
poses on an inexpensive PC platform. In 1990, CSRG expanded
|
||||
that goal to encompass an unencumbered release accessible to
|
||||
anyone.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Do you think these goals have now been met with the
|
||||
release of 386BSD Release 0.0? Why or why not?

why not?
