I'm waiting for NetBSD to combine the mac68k and macppc ports so that it support these beasts. I recall a thread on the port-macppc list about this but don't know where it went from there. I know that it's the lack of PPC601 code in NetBSD that is one of the issues to getting this support. I don't know of the others. Don't ask me to elaborate beyond this since I'm not a NetBSD developer. -- Randy OS X - UNIX for the rest of us NetBSD - Catch the Power! -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
