For the fifth time today this reminded me that I wanted to find my images from Kirk's CD collection and move them over to another machine. Sigh.

Having the CD's handy is very handy :) I usually mount the iso and build pdfs of the docs I'm interested, in or view source code or whatever:

hdiutil mount "~/_workarea/_retro-resources/bits/csrg/The CSRG Archives CD-ROM 1 (August 1998) (Marshall Kirk McKusick).ISO"
cd /Volumes/CDROM/4.2/usr/doc/setup
eqn *.t | tbl | groff -Tps -ms > ~/Desktop/setup.ps
ps2pdf ~/Desktop/setup.ps
open ~/Desktop/setup.pdf

I bought my copy back when from:

https://www.mckusick.com/csrg/index.html

Now they're conveniently hosted on archive.org. Here's the first cd as downloadable iso:
https://archive.org/details/The_CSRG_Archives_CD-ROM_1_August_1998_Marshall_Kirk_McKusick

Kirk's fine with them being hosted there, by the way. But, having the actual CD's are great in case of the apocalypse :).
