Point taken. I was mainly (knee-jerk) reacting to the statements that a 386 was unsuitable for running anything above 2.2.x which is not true. (Note to self: Think things through a bit more before replying next time.) Alright, there might be good reasons to drop 386 support from -current. I don't like it, but I can live with it. Just remember to change all the places that refer to 'i386' as the generic name for the architecture if the 386 itself is dropped. :-) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
