Eg: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/alpha/4.0-19991111-CURRENT/INSTALL.TXT .... FreeBSD/alpha supports the following alpha platforms: UDB, Multia, AXPpci33, Noname EB164, PC164, PC164LX, PC164SX EB64+, Aspen Alpine, etc. AlphaStation 200, 250, 255, 400 AlphaStation 500, 600 Digital Personal Workstation 433, 500, 600 Compaq Professional Workstation XP900, XP1000, AlphaServer DS10 DEC3000/300 family (netboot only) DEC3000/[4-9]00 family (netboot only) .... The above list should include AlphaServer DS20 (single CPU only) 4.0-current supports much more hardware than 3-stable. Also, support was recently added for AlphaServer 1000 systems. This support has not yet been integrated into any snapshot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Gallatin, Sr Systems Programmer http://www.cs.duke.edu/~gallatin Duke University Email: gallatin@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science Phone: (919) 660-6590 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
