Maybe opposite way.
I always find source codes first, and since I don't want to spend time in
downloading big souces and compiling them, I have to haunt around the
binaries. If I fail to find them, then I had to get the sources and
compile.
Also, 20M for 386BSD is a bogus.
You must have at least over 40M disk space to install 386BSD.
Xserver for 386BSD is nonsense (to me). The size was around 10M !
