Unfortunately, FreeBSD only runs on Intel x86 architectures, and there is also a port for Alpha being worked on. There is another team working on a SPARC port. For PowerPC chips there are at least to Linux variants available: MkLinux and LinuxPPC. I have tried the second one, and it runs fine (but it is not FreeBSD!). There is another possibility: perhaps Connectix's VirtualPC might run FreeBSD. I tried this with VirtualPC 1.0.1 to no avail; but I have not tried to run FreeBSD on VirtualPC 2.1... -- JMA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- José Mª Alcaide | mailto:jose@we.lc.ehu.es Universidad del País Vasco | http://www.we.lc.ehu.es/~jose Dpto. de Electricidad y Electrónica | Facultad de Ciencias - Campus de Lejona | Tel.: +34-946012479 48940 Lejona (Vizcaya) - SPAIN | Fax: +34-944858139 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Go ahead... make my day." - H.
