FreeBSD on PPC is something the FreeBSD project is keen to work towards, and there's no reason why it can't happen, but afaik it's not a mature port yet. I may be wrong but I see no /sys/ppc yet. -- Andrew McKay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
