A 4.4BSD lite CD

4.4 BSD Lite was the second last release from the CSRG. After they had to withdraw the Net/2 source, the files found to be in contention with 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.

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