Adrian, Again much appreciated. Jk. From: adrian.chadd@gmail.com [mailto:adrian.chadd@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Chadd Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2013 8:23 PM To: John.Kitz@xs4all.nl Cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: FreeBSD distribution for ARM processors. Hi! On 23 October 2013 13:30, John W. Kitz <John.Kitz@xs4all.nl> wrote: Hi, Can someone please explain the rationale behind not providing a distribution for arm based systems, as it seems somewhat illogical to me that distributions are available for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 (see http://www.freebsd.org/where.html) which are considered Tier 2 architectures while the official reason for arm being a Tier 2 architecture is the fact that no distribution is provided for it (see http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm.html). It's happening. It may not happen for 10.0 but the vague plan is to get generic MIPS/ARM install environments with customisations for how you get the image onto various devices. -adrian
