DISTRIBUTION SITE
ROADMAP
Greetings,
This is the distribution site ROADMAP file for 386BSD
Release 0.1. If this site is an *official* distribution
host, the following file tree should be present. If this is
not an official site, the host should display an appropriate
message routing users to an official site. This unaltered
file (ROADMAP) should also be included.

The distribution is in contained in three sets (bin-
dist, srcdist, etcdist). Each set is made up of a multivo-
lume, compressed, CPIO dump, split into 470 block files
suitable for floppies and/or download. Optionally, a site
may *also* set up a filesystem directory which contains all
the files already extracted and in position, for the pur-
poses of browsing and for individual downloading.
The bootable/ directory contains two compressed floppy
images: the Tiny 386BSD Installation Floppy (dist.fs.Z) and
the Fixit Floppy (fixit.fs.Z). For direct MS-DOS download,
uncompressed images of these floppies are also present, as
well as the source and binary for rawrite, to allow people
to create the filesystem floppies themselves.
The tools/ directory contains shell scripts for making
floppies (rawrite, voldump) and verifying cksums (dcksum).
Official patches, when they are released, will reside
in patches/. They will appear simultaneously on BIX and Com-
puserve and can be installed by the Sysop. (These patches
will also be made available via the Internet/Usenet on the
newsgroup "comp.os.386bsd" when it is activated -- see the
INSTALL.NOTES file for further information on this news-
group). The unofficial/ directory will contain structured
(hopefully) unofficial patches, contributions, commentary,
analysis, and support information from contributors. It is
*mandatory* that this directory exist, but it is up to the
local Sysop what editorial control he exerts over it.
Userdirectory contains the names and addresses of users
who have registered with us (via REGISTRATION form) and who
have requested that their name, affiliation and email
address be made public here for contact with other 386BSD
users.
Service.support contains a unverified and disclaimed
list of people, groups, and/or companies offering support
for 386BSD. We require that anyone wishing to appear on
this list send mail properly requesting inclusion or exclu-
sion, to avoid any potential problems. Requests for inclu-
sion should state the following: name, firm (if any), con-
tact address and country, contact phone/fax/telex/email,
areas of specialty, rates, and experience. This information
is only for the purposes of aiding users, and is definitely
not intended as *advertising*.
386BSD ROADMAP 2 July 1992
Please note that userdirectory is mandatory, while
service.support is not.
The distribution sets are "set in granite" and unchang-
ing from the point that the distribution arrives. We will
periodically update the patches, userdirectory, and
service.support files. No interim releases will be made.
Anyone can add files to unofficial at any time.

Thank you for your interest and assistance.
Bill and Lynne Jolitz.
