I don't think it's worth the effort. By the time 5.0-RELEASE goes out, the 386 will have been around for over 10 years (actually I think it has already reached that point and gone beyond). There are not likely to be many more installs of FreeBSD on 386's, let alone 5.x installs. People who *really* want to install 5.x on a 386 can generate their own kernel and such. --=20 wca --pf9I7BMVVzbSWLtt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6ZFqaF47idPgWcsURAkv7AJwJjtjaVEIJsVt769ht4yoCa5TnLQCdFyj6 8p3NIR2VMzGehAQ4aTi+5qw= =KlZ0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pf9I7BMVVzbSWLtt-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
