		+	An alternative is to download the 4.2 BSD tape from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/files/Install%20tapes/4.2%20BSD/4.2bsd.tap.bz2/download here], along with the boot file [http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/files/Install%20tapes/4.2%20BSD/boot42/download here]. The [[bzip2]] program will be needed to decompress the tape image.
