I can't believe this thread is still polluting the email system. 386's are old, slow, and virtually useless. I think that the time wasted on supporting junk hardware would be better spent on utilising the features and capabilities of new hardware. As someone mentioned, if you want to use crap hardware, install NetBSD. FreeBSD's goal isn't to be able to run on anything, it's to be able to run fast on specific things. With that in mind, put your 386's away, or find a different OS. I know it may be hard to part with old junk, but that's life. -Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leif Neland" <leifn@neland.dk> To: <current@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 02:12 Subject: Re: 80386 out of GENERIC > But still, would it be impossible to have both a GENERIC and a GENERIC386 > kernel in the distribution? > > Or is the whole system compiled in non-386 mode? > > Even so, if just one site. www.386.freebsd.org were having a 386-enabled > version available, wouldn't that make everybody happy? > > Leif > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
