Message-ID: I was looking at Tom Yam's 4.0 BSD 'starunix' restoration project, and I had a question about the version number that is reported vs the dates... I'm using wikipedia as a source (I know I know..) Anyways Tom's 4.0 boots up like this: : hp(0,0)vmunix 87844+15464+130300 start 0x530 VM/UNIX (Berkeley Version 4.1) 11/10/80 But the wiki page lists 4.1 being from June of 1981, and 4.0 being from November of 1980.. Did 4.0 BSD ship reporting itself as 4.1? I guess there is the possibility that the kernel may include patches to bring it up to 4.1? Does anyone have tape dumps of 4.0 & 4.1 ...? I did find some iso image that has various levels of BSD but they are not in tape dumps but rather extracted to the filesystem.. the 4.0 & 4.1 from there seem identical Or at a minimum they use the same kernel that reports itself as 4.1 ... Anyways I'm just wondering.... Jason Stevens -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
