The directories root/ and usr/ contain the files from the "s2-bits tape",
which Dennis Ritchie extracted from an old DECtape at Bell Labs. Here are
his notes.
which Dennis Ritchie extracted from an old DECtape at Bell Labs, which is
available here:
s2-bits Is not source, but a dump of (parts of) /bin, /etc,
/usr/lib, and bits of a few other directories.

Dennis notes that "s2-bits is not source, but a dump of (parts of) /bin,
/etc, /usr/lib, and bits of a few other directories".
Layout
------
The files on the "s2-bits tape" are split into two directories:
root - files from s2.tar.gz, excluding the usr directory, used
to populate the rf0 filesystem.
usr - files from s2.tar.gz under the usr directory, used to populate
the rk0 filesystem.
Binaries which have been built recently while reconstructing the system
are in the new/ directory, and include:
new/etc/init - built from jun72 printout sources for init.s
with modifications to spawn getty on tty8 (console) only.
File Permissions
----------------
The following list gives details of all the files in the s2-bits tap-format
archive. The first columns are a direct copy of a listing done with the
emulated 1st Edition tap(1) from the s2-bits tape.
