[-- Attachment #1 --] whats the deal with only covering the i386 stuff ? even the installation directions are completely silent regarding the alpha platform. I'm used to us getting less coverage but this seems a bit excessive. The only info I can find on the website is a reference to an "alpha" page that basically says "yep, we have an alpha version" which strikes me as a bit useless. maybe I should ask this: what is the actual status of the alpha version? why are references made to all the features FreeBSD has, but there is never any indication which platform the features exist on? like i386 emulation, linux & dos binaries etc. If the alpha port is dead then say so, if its alive then provide info on it. any info/help would be appreciated, -Ralph [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>whats the deal with only covering the i386 stuff ?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>even the installation directions are completely</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>silent regarding the alpha platform.
