Pouzzner) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: Re: 4.4 onto Alpa/AXP processors? Date: 14 Feb 1994 23:03:44 GMT Organization: gaia Lines: 16 Message-ID: <2jp00g$hqo@GRAPEVINE.LCS.MIT.EDU> References: <2jotqv$opb@dingo.cc.uq.oz.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: piranha.lcs.mit.edu i am considering porting 4.4BSD-lite to 21064. whether i do the port or not depends on the quality and availability of 4.4 and of the FSF's "Hurd" freeware UNIX. if U. Cal. requires every user of 4.4-lite to have a licensing agreement with them, and more to the point perhaps, to pay $1000 bucks for the distribution, then perhaps the port isn't worth the effort. on the other hand, if there's a liberalized policy regarding 4.4, and the kernel and assorted ports can be put up for anonymous ftp, then i think ports to 21064, PA-RISC, and R4x00, are well worth it. -- -daniel (douzzer@athena.mit.edu) i've been here and i've been there and key 0B 99 0D 4F E8 55 9A 95 i've been inbetween. i talk to the wind, print 43 C1 7F B5 DF 8F E3 33 my words are all carried away. key: finger douzzer@ai.mit.edu the wind cannot hear.
