Could you please tell me? This should work. I'm currently running FreeBSD 8 (i386) on my amd64-compatible (64 bit) home system. Just keep in mind there are some limitations (like the amound of RAM usable, or the width of certain data types). Example: % uname -m i386 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 4300 @ 1.80GHz (1799.81-MHz 686-class CPU), which is an amd64-type CPU. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
