This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BF45D8.88D24F80 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable whats the deal with only covering the i386 stuff ? even the installation directions are completely silent regarding the alpha platform. I'm used to us getting less coverage but this seems a bit excessive. The only info I can find on the website is a reference to an "alpha" page that basically says "yep, we have an alpha version" which strikes me as a bit useless. maybe I should ask this: what is the actual status of the alpha version? why are references made to all the features FreeBSD has, but there is never any indication which platform the features exist on? like i386 emulation, linux & dos binaries etc. If the alpha port is dead then say so, if its alive then provide info on it. any info/help would be appreciated, -Ralph ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BF45D8.88D24F80 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>whats the deal with only covering the = i386 stuff=20 ?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>even the installation directions are=20 completely</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>silent regarding the alpha = platform.
