Date: 5 Aug 1995 05:57:23 GMT Organization: cisco Systems Lines: 16 Message-ID: <3vv184$qou@cronkite.cisco.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: terrapin.cisco.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I love FreeBSD, thank you all you folks who have worked on it! I recently installed 2.1.0 on a 40mHz 386. Yes, I'll get around to upgrading to a Pentium someday, but for now FreeBSD runs just fine on my 386. However, the first package I chose to install (top - imagine that :-) immediately exited with a floating point exception. So it looks like it was compiled for a 486, or at least a 386/387. Are all the packages this way? Or just some and I take my chances? Also, is there an interesting reason that there is an fvwm package in the 2.0.5 packages directory, but not in the 2.1.0 directory? Thanks, -jim
