No. You should use 6.0. i386 is just a generic name for the whole class of processors that have followed Intel's i386 line, starting with the 80386 and everything afterward. P4, P5, P6 and etc all are part of this line. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
