I have vmware on one of my boxes, and I intended to try creating a 2.2.8 system on it sometime. It probably would not perform great, but it'd be good enough to do a few simple compiles on. I also still have cd's for 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 if you'd want me to try that. [but I probably won't have time to try this until the weekend] -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
