This directory contains information about these old versions of Unix. The PUPS_Mail directory holds an archive of the mailing list for the PDP UNIX Preservation Society. Finally, a snapshot of the PUPS web pages at http://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/PUPS/ is included in the directory PUPS_Html. This directory itself contains the manual pages for installing and configuring some of the Unix flavours in the archive. Note the following: v5 is similar to v6 & so you can use the v6 docs. Both v5 and v6 came as RK05 disk pack images. You will have lots of trouble installing either if you don't have RK05s. If you have a tape drive, use Keith Bostic's v7. Otherwise try the disk images in Boot_Images. The Henry Spencer version I got as a tar file, and is the original v7 minus the tape bootstraps. The Torsten version is an RL02 disk pack image, and the source code has been hacked significantly. Both the 2.9BSD and 2.11BSD versions in Distributions/ucb come with full tape blocks for tape installation. Finally, the html versions of the setup documents are suspect, as I don't think unroff(1) can cope with ancient nroff macros.
