It belongs to an [computer] Archiecture professor. I was trying to bring up a simulator that mimics a MIPS Ultrix box and associted toolkit. The toolkit includes the GNU binutils and Gcc so you can cross-compile the SPEC benchmarks for the simulator platform. The box is still running RH-alpha 3.0.3. Which probably explains why the OS feels so unstable quite rough. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org)
