New to FreeBSD -- I just purchased the 5.3 bundle expecting to find the distribution contained a CD install for multiple platforms like the OpenBSD distribution CD, only to discover that it only supports i386! However, there doesn't appear to be anything on the BSDstore website offering any kind of distribution for the Alpha. ... Does one exist? ... or do I have to burn by own. I'm currently running OpenBSD on one Alpha and planned to install FreeBSD on the other. Neither XP1000 has a CD burner, but I do have a superdrive on my Mac OS X 10.3.7 system. Can anybody give me some pointers to avoid having to regress a few years and cut floppies!!! T.T.F.N. William H.
