the Computer Systems Research group.
It covers all BSD versions from 1BSD to 4.4BSD and 4.4BSD-Lite2 (but not
2.11BSD, unfortunately). As well, the last disk holds the final sources
plus the SCCS files. Details at http://www.mckusick.com/csrg/
the bibliography and ASCII itself to Donors Gallery (which I should
have done before, they have donated part of their profit from their
previous book too).
Also minor cleanup in the items around this while I'm here.

Yep, you heard it, this book has survived since 1997 via the photocopier
underground. Well SCO decided it is now safe for us to see the 6th ed.
Kernel source. :-)
This is a really nice small (274 pages) book on UNIX architecture.
It "reads" like K&R, has good straightforward explantions and nice diagrams
of structures and things, w/o unnessiary bulk. It covers both BSD and sysV.
I wish this had been the textbook for my undergrad OS class rather
than Tannenbam.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

Incorporate new development section, since Satoshi seems to have wandered
off for a bit and I have too much stuff stacking up in my handbook directory.

All cross reference labels start with name of the file that contains
them. A label for the top section level is simply the name of the
file (omitting the .sgml). Other references within the file append a
colon and onother name. For example, the label on the mailing list
section in the file eresources.sgml is eresources:mail. This gives
each file its own cross reference namespace.
