Hmm, you sign your mail `obrien@FreeBSD.org', so I guess I'll remember your choice of words next time I need to reference a FreeBSD effort, like, perhaps the new alpha port. Up to now I've never been in any way critical. I'm wondering, did you run the `sysinst' screen-menu installer? I think that NetBSD/sparc is actually supposed to be installed with the script-based installer, which WAS shipped with the release. The sysinst program is completely experimental on sparc, and in hindsight, it should never have been shipped on the 1.4 USENIX disks. However, I'm not sure that the borked sparc installer merits that crude put-down of the entire release. *sniff* ross.harvey@computer.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
