You can use rawhide.osd.bsdi.com. It's the 4100 and should be running 4.1. Actually, it's running 4.2-BETA already. You probably want to coordinate with O`Brien on using it though. That doesn't get in the way of an x86 ISO though. :-P > - Jordan -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
