Maybe OpenBSD is more better and easy, I think. I am using the SS2, SS5 with OpenBSD 2.3 kernel and FreeBSD 2.17.1, 2.2.6 Libraies and FreeBSD /usr/share. (/sbin, /usr/sbin and libkvm.a are using OpenBSD 2.3 codes.) It is NOT perfect. But it is easy. -- Tomoyoshi ASANO To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
