If he must know this then he can take the output of: `sysctl -n hw.ncpu` that will give him the number of CPUs in a FreeBSD box. If he has any other questions, or you wish to post a URL to his program I can show him other ways of getting this system dependant information from FreeBSD. i think the uname he wants from freebsd is: uname -srm which on my box is: FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT i386 (this is the experimental version of freebsd, akin to the odd numbered kernel releases of linux) on a non-developemental version he should expect FreeBSD 3.[0-9](\.[0-9])?-STABLE i386 meaning 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1 i think he should really just grab the output of "uname" which is "FreeBSD" most freebsd systems behave the same way. -Alfred > > -----FW: <371C57D6.DDE280A4@univ-brest.fr>----- > > Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 12:32:54 +0200 > Sender: jl@sdt.univ-brest.fr > From: Jean-Louis Thirot <thirot@univ-brest.fr> > To: Conrad Sabatier <conrads@neosoft.com> > Subject: Re: TkWine setup under FreeBSD > > Conrad Sabatier wrote: > > > "TkWine was intended to be used on any unix computer.
