Well there's TenDRA[1]. I think someone was once working on getting it to build the base system..... [1]ten15.org or tendra.org. They are both forks of the original TenDRA project. Chatting to some friendlies in #TenDRA[2] on freenode suggests that there work is still to young to even build ELF binaries on FreeBSD. So it might have been ten15.org [2]TenDRA as in tendra.org and not ten15.org. Yes it's all !&$#*^# confusing. -Alastair _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
