This is very ancient history. I wasn't there, but AFAIK there was no pre-1.2 OpenBSD release. I think the 1.2 version number came about because OpenBSD forked from NetBSD: 26 November 1995 -- NetBSD 1.1 is released 1 July 1996 -- OpenBSD 1.2 (the first OpenBSD version) is released 1 October 1996 -- OpenBSD 2.0 is released (4 October 1996 -- NetBSD 1.2 is released) Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBSD#Releases and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_OpenBSD . Also, I think OpenBSD 1.2 was an FTP-only release (or maybe CVS-only?). But while I'm 95% certain of the above based on "circumstantial evidence", I wasn't there. I think asking Theo or maybe a handful of other OpenBSD people might be your only chance if you want to get copies of the OpenBSD 1.2 files (if they still have them at all). Official CDs are available for everything after OpenBSD 1.2, but in some cases only for premium vintage collectors' items prices: https://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order I guess it depends on how hard you want the original CDs and/or how much support you want to (and can afford to) offer to the project. If it's just the files you want, then these mirrors have old releases available all the way back to 2.0 (not the initial 1.2 release though). Except where otherwise indicated, these are also accessible via http and rsync: ftp://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ ftp://ftp.estpak.ee/pub/OpenBSD/ ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/OpenBSD/ (no rsync) ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/OpenBSD/ ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/OpenBSD/ ftp://ftp.gamma.ru/pub/OpenBSD/ (no http, rsync) ftp://mirrors.isu.net.sa/pub/ftp.openbsd.org/ (no rsync) ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/ftp.openbsd.org/ (no http) ftp://ftp.ulak.net.tr/OpenBSD/ (no http) ftp://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/pub/OpenBSD/ ftp://ftp.plig.net/pub/OpenBSD/ ftp://mirror.planetunix.net/pub/OpenBSD/ (I didn't check if the AFS mirrors have the old releases as well. I've never used AFS.) Of course being able to download the files shouldn't stop you from donating if you can. regards, --ropers
