I posted the first one because it included a scan of the packaging and an insert (which I don't think you can find on the FreeBSD archive -though I haven't looked), I posted a link to the second one because it pre-dates the earliest ISO on the FreeBSD archive (2.0 instead of 2.0.5). I thought people would be interested in the first link as an interesting curiosity, and the second one was for any software completists. -Michael --000000000000fd9e7005f74966b3 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Speaking of Unix History, followin= g that link led me to a copy of what I think was the first 4.4BSD-Lite base= d FreeBSD iso -it's from June 1995. No big deal *except* that it includ= es a scan of the cover, something that looks like an insert and it consists= of two cds. I haven't had a chance to look at the cds yet so I don'= ;t know what's on them.

IMO the scans are= the big deal and why I'm posting the link to it here. Apologies in adv= ance for any lapses in etiquette:

FreeBSD 2.= 0.0 was the first Lite based release. This looks to be 2.0.5 which was a 7 = months later.

These are just the regular W= alnut Creek ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walnut_Creek_CDROM ) pa= ckaged distributions of free software.=C2=A0 Is there a reason that they ar= e considered special or significant?

-Henry

Yes. I posted the first one= because it included a scan of the packaging and an insert (which I don't think you can find on the= =20 FreeBSD archive -though I haven't looked), I posted a link to the secon= d one because it pre-dates the earliest ISO on the FreeBSD archive (2.0 ins= tead of 2.0.5).
