A 4.4BSD lite CD

4.4BSD Lite was the second-to-last release from the CSRG. After they had to withdraw the Net/2 source, the files found to be derived from Unix/32V were removed, and this distribution was released.

Then all of the derived projects had to ensure that they didn't have those files, or anything derived from them.

I think at the time this would have impacted:

Just like Net/2, this was not a complete OS onto itself, however it was the vast majority needed.

From init_main.c:

@(#)init_main.c	8.9 (Berkeley) 1/21/94
