I've checked all of the ports we really need and all of them don't seem to have a problem being installed under amd64. I'm mostly interested in running amd64 on higher end hardware that doesn't have an issue of addressing 4GB or more of RAM. The PAE capability on i386 still seems to be a bit experimental? -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor\@(inoc.net|gmail.com) PGP: 0x66F90BFC @ http://pgp.mit.edu Key fingerprint = 6296 F715 038B 44C1 2720 292A 8580 500E 66F9 0BFC telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
