According to Alain G. Fabry: > Am subscribed to freebsd-questions and they mentioned there was an Alpha > port for FreeBSD. > Where can I find this to do an installation on my DEC Alpha? Not that I've been tracking the alpha port TOO closely, but I believe it's NOT for newbies, quite yet. I think there are SNAPs available, but they don't yet hold quite the same quility as the x86 counterparts. If you're feeling brave, and not completely lost, then I would recommend you to join this mailinglist and read it for a week or so, and pick up some vibes. Then go get a SNAP, or so, and try installing it. Also... first, check out this URL: http://www.freebsd.org/alpha/alpha.html second, if you're going to ask "can i run FreeBSD on this hardware" you need to tell people on this list EXACTLY what "DEC Alpha" you're talking about. There are quite a few models, and not all are supported. /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
