This version was addressed many of the performance short comings in 4.0 BSD that were brought up in a VMS vs BSD paper. Many of the changes are outlined in Bug fixes and changes in 4.1bsd.

Other features included:

  • job control
  • automatic kernel config
  • vfork()

Getting this to run

So far nothing, all the information I've been able to find is in the CSRG CD-ROM. I suspect overlaying a 4.0 system with 4.1 files may work....
