Except for old computers and old software that segfaults on 64-bit, how many people still use i386?
Full disclosure: I'd like to see i386 deorbited before I retire. --- Sent using a tiny phone keyboard. Apologies for any typos and autocorrect. Also, this old phone only supports top post. Apologies.

AFAIK and FWIW: ed(4), le(4) on amd64 and on i386 (ISA and PCI) ex(4), ep(4) on i386 (ISA and PCcard) Regards, STefan _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
