(I still have a 486, act as a small server and a 286 witch is in storage) This basally means that any one who doesn't have the latest processor can't install FreeBSD. (I could be wrong) Having a option during the installation to use GENERIC or PENTIUM (IV) would be far better. A option to enable/disable hardware compile one own kernel would be great to. I never owned any SCSI devices in a decade. -- Best regards/Met vriendelijke groet, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
