I knew 5.3 is work very well. But due to my application that > only support 4.8, so I need a way out to install 4.8. I think this won't cause problem. Actually, even if you need a full 4.x userland, it's possible to get it through jail(8), I run FreeBSD 4.5, 4.8, 4.10 on our company's buildbox which runs 6-CURRENT and have no problem... What's the *exact* problem? Most issues can be resolved through the kernel compatibility mechansim with COMPAT_4X libraries, so maybe we can help out if you want to share more details :-) Cheers, --=20 Xin LI <delphij frontfree net> http://www.delphij.net/ See complete headers for GPG key and other information. --HlL+5n6rz5pIUxbD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFB7m1//cVsHxFZiIoRAkdBAJ46Law+ap4qaPWaogovoUYRrtNlFACfQzIe 1jIvCxkqbfx+2ZARu7AKwMM= =ihkW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HlL+5n6rz5pIUxbD--
