The "Getting FreeBSD" page, http://www.freebsd.org/where.html, which is pretty prominent, has broken links, such as the Hardware Notes for FreeBSD 7.2-RLEASE i386 http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/hardware-i386.html I think that's one that people are going to want. While I'm pestering you - why is the 8.2 section so sparse? Just a case of not being done yet, or are there documents that need to be linked in here? In fact, I'm having trouble finding hardware lists on the site at all right now, except by searching Hardware, which did lead me to: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/hardware.html which works, but is not platform-specific. Oh, actually, it just refers me to "the Hardware Notes supplied with each release" which is what I was trying to get to in the first place, so this is a dead-end, too... When I go to the release notes, such as http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/relnotes.html or http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/relnotes.html the word "hardware" is not even on the page. By going to Supported Platforms, and then the FreeBSD/i386 project (http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/i386.html), I finally find a link that says "Hardware List", but it is self-referential(http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/i386.html#hw) with the "hw" tag being trivially identifed with the following header. Finally, by following a link that specifically talks about "Supproted CPUS" I get to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/hardware.html#PROC-I386 but I don't think it should be this hard. Thanks for all your work! -- John Lind john@starfire.MN.ORG
