There is no mention of support for any AMD or Cyrix processor, even though most, if not all are supported by FreeBSD. This is a big deal becuase people ask about AMD processor support all of the time on IRC. >How-To-Repeat: Using your favourite browser, head to: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/hardware-i386.html and read section 2. >Fix: Make mention of processor support from all vendors, not just Intel. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
