This is a full distribution kit for the interim release of the Fourth Berkeley Software tape known as 4.3BSD Reno. The package you received should have contained:

1)
Three 2400' 1600 bpi magnetic tapes or one 2400' 6250 bpi magnetic tape containing the basic system software; this is the bootstrap distribution media.
2)
A document entitled ``Hints on Upgrading a 4.3BSD System to 4.3BSD-Reno.''
3)
The hier(7) manual page.
4)
A document entitled ``HP9000/300 series support in the 4.3 Reno distribution''.
5)
A document listing contributors to the Berkeley Software Distribution.
6)
A document entitled ``Installing and Operating 4.3BSD-tahoe UNIX on the Tahoe'' or ``Installing and Operating 4.3BSD-tahoe UNIX on the Vax,'' according to the tape(s) ordered.

To set up the tapes, follow the instructions in the ``Installing and Operating 4.3BSD-tahoe ...'' document. It is a good idea to look through the whole document before you begin. If you have questions that are not answered in the documentation supplied, you can call us at 415-642-4948, or, by sending electronic mail to ``bostic@okeeffe.berkeley.edu''.

Bug reports about this distribution can be submitted using the sendbug program on the tape, which will submit a formatted report to ``4bsd-bugs@Berkeley.EDU'' on the Internet (on the uucp net, modify sendbug to send to ``uunet!ucbvax!4bsd-bugs'' by an appropriate path). Please be sure to sure that the Index line specifies ``4.3BSD-reno.'' Ideas for improvement of the system should be sent to ``4bsd-ideas'', in the same network context. Please let us know of problems you have with the distribution tape. If you bring up new devices or other software which you would be willing to share with others, let us know.
