PowerPC is what Motorola calls it, and that's essentially what the port's targetting right now. The IBM chips that it will support are derivatives of the Motorola architecture. I believe that IBM calls it's 4xx series PowerPC as well. The POWER chips (at least the current ones) are mostly 64-bit, IIRC.=20 These will not be supported by this port, at least in it's current form. Just because Linux uses the wrong name for the architecture doesn't mean we should. =3D) =20 --=20 Benno Rice benno@FreeBSD.org --=-eelbNKIq7o6U40e8IvjW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEABECAAYFAjyWjCIACgkQXjRwWofFmQn/GQCfTUsTxMOC/eVAnRDo7wdKlgwz DcAAnR7LoxO2S+NTEwcywAjMF9CJH9Av =glUa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-eelbNKIq7o6U40e8IvjW-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
