FreeBSD/sparc must still feel and work like FreeBSD. It will take quite some time until FreeBSD/sparc is where FreeBSD/i386 is today. So having a crud somewhat working sparc port is still useful when the BSDI sparc bits become availble as the FreeBSD bits would probably provide the framework for the end product. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
