Hi,
Will someone update the 386BSD Wikipedia page for me? Wikipedia doesn't
like my IPv6 address at home nor my VPS and I've given up trying to find
a way to make the edit myself without breaking IPv6 on my network.
The second paragraph of the history page states the following:
"The porting process with code was extensively documented in an 18-part
series written by Lynne Jolitz and William Jolitz in Dr. Dobb's Journal
beginning in January 1991."
There are only 17 parts to the series. My authoritative source is the
DDJ DVD available on The Internet Archive. There are 17 articles,
month's listed below.
In case my ability to find the article sis called into question, the
Tracing BSD System Calls article from DDJ March 1998 states the
following in the fourth paragraph.
"(see the DDJ series "Porting UNIX to the 386," by William and Lynne
Jolitz, January-November 1991 and February-July 1992)"
