And moving back to FreeBSD is > something I really want to do. You can use 4.0 on a machine with a i810 motherboard. In fact, I built RC2 on a machine with an i810 motherboard. However, it depends on your definition of "use". I don't think that we support the sound card on the i810 for example, and, personally, I haven't tried X out on this machine yet. So, it depends on your definition of "use". -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
