Mauro, buddy, take it easy. I think you might have gotten to the wrong place accidentally. this mailing list is pretty much for developers. we tried to get decent documentation available on the internet, but from your confusion it looks like we missed the boat. The PPC platform isn't a priority for fBSD, and as such isn't fully supported. If you want to run a non-Apple OS and need it now, NetBSD is a really strong and capable machine. If you want to help out with fBSD development on PPC, then you've found the right place. Dag isn't trying to be a jerk, but we get a lot of people who wander in here without looking at anything else clamoring about weather or not their particular box is supported, and the answer is that none of them are. If you're willing to give the test environment a shot, there are directions and some images that peter grehan has put together, but it's not a full release yet. I believe that if you look through the archives you can find all of this information and more about the current status of the fBSD Port. Their location currently escapes me, but google knows. Hope this information helps, -James -------------------------------------------- "Never trust a man who can count to 1024 on his fingers" -------------------------------------------- On Apr 24, 2005, at 9:34 AM, Mauro wrote: > On Sun, 2005-04-24 at 18:24 +0200, Dag-Erling Smørgrav wrote: >> Mauro <mcepeda@ualberta.ca> writes: >>> If you want to be held by the hand and told how to install you can >>> go to the appropriate corresponding bsd sites. >> >> If I wanted to know about OpenBSD or NetBSD, I'd have asked about >> OpenBSD or NetBSD.
