Just before you get too excited -- my lack of available time means that I can't do a whole lot of work on this. What I can do is co-ordinate other's efforts, and commit things to the website and/or FAQ and Handbook on other people's behalf. I stress that I *know* nothing about Alpha's on a hardware level, and the closest I've got was trying to install OpenBSD on someone else's Alpha a couple of years ago. > The first thing I'd suggest doing is ripping out most of the > http://www.freebsd.org/alpha page & replacing it with links to a > hardware compatability page, and possibly a software (ports, not the > base os, the base os has worked for nearly a year) compatability page. > > I'd be happy to help out with a hardware compatability list, etc. That's what I need.

That'd do nicely. Ideally, you'd use send-pr(1) so that they get stuck in the bug tracking system and we can handle them that way. If anyone's got suggested re-wordings for the FreeBSD website and Handbook to emphasise that it's not just for i386 PCs anymore, now is the time to speak up. N -- [intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed, non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs the links. -- Tom Christiansen in <375143b5@cs.colorado.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
