That's been a killer for a while now; it looks like some progress might actually be made soon, as we have finally gotten our mitts onto a box small enough to send to the UK. (No offense intended to Compaq here; just our inability to ship something quite as studly as a DS20 that far in safety.) > We have sent an AS4100 quad machine to them to assist with making that a > reality. I believe that Matt Jacob was working hard to add support for the 4100/8100 (Rawhide?) families in time for the 4.0 release. I'm not sure he'll make the deadline, but this has indeed largely been facilitated by Compaq's loaner. I expect that Matt will have something to say on the topic when he runs over this thread. > -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
