Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, A friend of mine insists on being a victim of the FreeBSD virus : he wants an ancient 386 PC to become his gateway to the Internet (via a Cable connection). I've just read the handbook section on installing FreeBSD and I don't see wether the GENERIC kernel needs a 387 or not. What should I read ? (the GENERIC conf file does not seem to help) - and I do not have a PC without a numeric co-proceeor (the "lightest" PC I have is a 486-DX33) TIA TfH To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
