https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230888 --- Comment #13 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> --- The project is somewhat schizophrenic about i386. On the one hand there are calls for tier 3 status or even removal. On the other hand we *must* support ancient i486 at the cost of usability on slightly less ancient ia32 hardware. +100, let's drop i486 support and go straight to i686 at a minimum. I ran a 2.6 Linux on a real i586 with 128 MB of RAM over 10 years ago *and it was dog slow then*. To run the package manager required disk swap. People with real museum class ia32 that want to run a recently released BSD slowly can use NetBSD or OpenBSD (lock contention shouldn't be an issue). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
