We would like it to exist, but it does not. It is a nice wish, but it is not real. If you want to run a real, existent, available operating system on a range of SPARC-based machines, you could try NetBSD. That OS will even support some of the older SPARC machines, while the FreeBSD/SPARC project never expected to support them. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
