I'm doing. Then you're the man. I was just trying to spark some discussion about the IA32 to IA64/x86-64 fork, and which way we're going (or if we're going both directions). I appear to have succeeded. I was also looking for a way to contribute to the effort. Having not found a page involving FreeBSD -> x86-64, how was I supposed to know you were 'doing' already ? In any case, thanks for 'doing', because everyone benefits from your work. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
