Hello,

I was wondering if you would be able to help me locate a copy of the below

"General Commands Manual for RDIST"
June 3, 1993
FreeBSD

I appreciate any help you are able to provide.


Are you sure about the date? If I read /usr/share/misc/bsd-family-tree
correctly, FreeBSD 1.0 is of 1993-11-01 (newer than 1993-06-03, the
date you provided).

The rdist program isn't part of the FreeBSD OS, it is provided
as a port. However, the web manpage collection contains the
following manual:

FreeBSD General Commands Manual for RDIST
March 17, 1994
4.3 Berkeley Distribution

Source:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=44bsd-rdist&sektion=1&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE+and+Ports


There was an older one with FreeBSD 1.0:

Does this help?

Tricky.  The CVS Repo only goes back to 1994, and I can't see any
obvious references to rdist in there.

Of course, I hope you all realise that this means in about 1 month,
FreeBSD will be legally an adult.

There's still some files in the src tree that haven't changed in all
that time.  eg:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/doc/psd/05.sysman/

Cheers,

Matthew

PS. To the OP: it might be worth asking on freebsd-hackers@... There's
still a number of people around that were active that far back.
