I assume that it will work on all variants of the x86 flavor cpu chip. If there are compatability issues w/some of those currently avail (such as Intel Celeron, AMD Duron, Cyrix, etc.) it would be nice to have in the FAQ. If nothing else some mention that "there are currently as of such-&-such date no such issues" would provide psychological re-assurance for the paranoid newby (holds up hand - "Yo!"). Some brief mention of other cpu supportage such as Motorola 68K found in Amiga & other older boxes like Sun, Oleveti, ATT B2, etc.; or DEC Alpha based boxes; or Motorola PPC based boxes would possibly also be helpful. _rich_ aliases rich holtzschue alephnull@switchboardmail.com alephnull@prodigy.net primary addy -> sesshin@swbell.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
