These will probably work, except acme hadn't been invented yet and sam m= ay or may not give an error the first time. (Checked with another demo d= isk.) You probably do want to start the window system, there is no way t= o kill the foreground process without it. I could email a slightly newer demo disk which prompts, "Start the windo= w system? (y/n)". Note that it has more annoyances than 4th edition. For= instance, while the down arrow key behaves appropriately, the up arrow = key inserts =C3=8E. Home inserts =C3=8D, End inserts CR. Double-click do= esn't select anything in 8=C2=BD, which is a nuisance when you habituall= y use send. The grep command does not exist! It does, however, have ftpf= s. Useful demo, not useful tool. I could email a 2nd edition CD-ROM too. It has grep and the source to ev= erything, but it's not a bootable disk. I don't think the demo floppy's = kernel has appropriate drivers. (It certainly lacks 9660srv.) The conten= ts of #S are unfamiliar too. The demo floppy lacks a lot of things, such= as /dev/drivers and even ns, which hinders exploration. I extracted a b= unch of kernels from the CD-ROM in the past, but I couldn't be bothered = to figure out how to boot them, much less find which one(s) will mount r= oot from a CD-ROM. I wonder if they'll boot if I tell qemu they're flopp= y disk images... (tired now)
