I have Kirk's 4-CD collection. Here's what it has for each version
I mentioned:
4.0 binaries + sources (fully unpacked tree of installed system)
no tape images, however there are already-built standalone
program binaries in /usr/src/sys/stand, so it might be feasible
to roll your own. the hardest part would be creating a
root dump.
4.1 binaries + sources (fully unpacked tree of installed system)
no tape images, but similar prebuilt stuff in /usr/src/sys/stand.
4.1a just some contents from a "Tape #2" - VERY incomplete.
some games binaries, some games and command sources, and
some documents. *no* kernel sources, regular binaries.
4.1b missing entirely
4.1c.1 just a tree of /usr/src, with a /usr/src/sys tree of unknown origin
4.1c.2 partial tape image: has mkfs program, and what looks like a
root dump (but not 100% sure). the rest is untarred, but
I'm guessing the remaining tape files were just in tar
format anyway. prebuilt binaries for standalone programs.
somewhat bizarrely, the kernel sources are in /a/sys and
/sys (on the CDROM) is a broken symbolic link. this is
obviously a snapshot of a working system rather than a more
formal distribution.
Anyway, as Warren already explained, the lack of distribution tape images
makes it hard to install these in an emulator if you want to play with them!
