WARNING FILE FOR 386BSD DISTRIBUTION ON agate.berkeley.edu

			-[Fri Mar 13 04:28:31 1992 by cgd@agate.berkeley.edu]-

THIS IS NOT CURRENTLY A STABLE SYSTEM, AND IS DEFINITELY FOR
EXPERIMENTERS ONLY, AT THIS POINT.

Some of the dangers of using it are outlined here:

(1) It does not co-exist with DOS -- AT ALL.  It requires that you
	destroy all data on the disk you're installing it on.

(2) It currently works on about half of the machines tested.
	(of course, it needs a 386/486 and math co...)
	HOWEVER, IF IT DOES NOT WORK, IT WILL DUMP CORE ON TO YOUR
	HARD DRIVE, THEREBY DESTROYING SOME, IF NOT ALL, OF THE
	DATA ON IT.

(3) It tends to panic often, and has a good number of known (fatal) bugs.
	(I've had it panic about 11 times in the last 24 hours, but
	those were 24 hours of reasonably heavy use...)
	Therefore, it currently cannot be considered 'safe' to store
	important data on the system.

THIS IS BY NO MEANS A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF THE PROBLEMS THAT
THE SYSTEM CURRENTLY HAS.  IT IS MEANT AS A REPRESENTATIVE
WARNING OF POSSIBLY GREATER PROBLEMS.
See 386bsd/README for a(n incomplete) list of known bugs.

note that only you can be held responsible for the trouble you
cause yourself by installing this... 8-)

please all distribution and documentation problems to me.
