Am I going to be able to install and boot a FreeBSD Hi Charles, The FreeBSD/alpha support is completely merged into our standard tree and you can either get CDROM versions of the product from the FreeBSD Mall (www.freebsdmall.com - the 4.1 version is coming out very shortly) or do a snapshot installation from ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/alpha (though the last snapshot there is from May and really needs to be updated). > help in choosing our next OS/version.

If the port is not > curently buildable/installable can I get at beast to do an eval? jkh@beast-> uname -a FreeBSD beast.freebsd.org 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #1: Fri Aug 4 02:09:49 PDT 2000 root@beast.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/BEAST alpha And yes, access to beast is certainly an option. If David O'Brien is listening, perhaps he can do another snapshot build for us just as soon as green unbreaks the crypto libraries. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
