I know "FreeBSD" will work on my system and ordered "FreeBSD 5.4 CDs" (2 montsh ago) from UK for Intel "i386" architecture.Now in the november2005 i want to purchase a new computer (as i have an old & quite slow machine). I am thinking of buying AMD-sempron 2500+. The only thing i want to know is whether same CDs, i ordered for i386 architecture will work on AMD-Sempron or do i need to purchase a different CD set. What about "i386" CDs on AMD64 archictecture? Do they work? i will be really thankfull to you for your help. "fraser" "the Great Intellectuals" __________________________________ Yahoo!

Do they > work? They work on all i386-compatible processors, which includes the AMD Sempron and AMD64 processors (in 32bit mode). Note that there is also a special amd64 version of FreeBSD which runs on AMD64 hardware in 64bit mode. But the i386 CDs will work fine, too. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
