This is based on the fact you are using a pc, which we will assume uses an Intel based chip, AMD, or the like. The Alpha version is for the Alpha processor systems. Alpha was originally DEC's product, which they then sold to Compaq, but that is another story. Methinks you might want to read a bit of the handbook prior to jumping into FreeBSD, as it seems you are not sure of what hardware you are running. -Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
