  Howdy.  I am currently faced with the problem of getting a unix for my PC
for cheap that will support slip and networking and be able to run some
binaries that I need to have and I'm seriously considering 386BSD because of 
its apparent stable slip code.  What I would like to know before I purchase a
brand new Hard Drive (200MB) is whether or not I'm going to be able get
source for Tinyfugue (latest version), and TinyMUCK to compile.  These two
binaries are the ones I am most concerned about, and would really like to know
before I spend the money.  If you have these running under 0.1 386BSD would
you please let me know either on here, or by email to mmead@vtssi.vt.edu?  I
would greatly appreciate it.  Also, am I correct in what I read about the
installation program being able to download the system using slip and install
it while downloading?  If so, Kudos go to someone since that is one of the
niftiest ideas I have seen in a while, eliminating a lot of the fuss with
floppy transfer of files...then just moving it all back to the hard drive...
