I instead took Linux and got it running on our StrongARM hardware, with modifications. I am now familiar enough with the StrongARM and Linux that I think I could assist with a StrongARM FreeBSD port. I have some time to spend on this, also. If anyone else is interested, let me know. I don't have much experience porting from the ground up, as Linux was already running on ARM hardware, but I'm learning as I go so far.:) -- Kyle Mestery | StorageTek's Storage Networking Group mestery@visi.com | http://www.freebsd.org/ mestery@netwinder.org | http://www.netwinder.org/ Protect your right to privacy: www.freecrypto.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
