Somewhere around there exist CD releases for 1.2 and 1.3 but they're on 
physical media and no-one has uploaded them yet .. :(

There's also the problem that the oldest media may now be unstable
and there may not be that many copies around.

Debian 1.3, for example is one CD of source, one of i386 binaries - I think.

Debian 1.2 was similar but smaller in numbers of packages.

I've had all of these at one point or another but passed physical copies
to someone else - I can ask if they can upload them :)

All the very best, as ever,

Andy Cater
