It's all in CVS already ;). There was a set of patches posted in March and then updated in April I think that got committed recently. It was in the list's archive, but for some reason the archive vanished this morning. > Does the version in CVS offer much more than the 0.5.5 I downloaded > and built from? It has most FreeBSD patches built in. It has some bug fixes. It allows you to install FreeBSD inside QEMU. Quite cool. > And one of the things I am interested in doing is having a working > OS/2 on my P4 laptop (OS/2 doesn't install on it) and maybe booting > the XP partition from FreeBSD. XP works inside QEMU, I can confirm that. But some of the Windows updates didn't want to install. No clue why. Another problem is that because there is no long double type in FreeBSD yet, the FPU emulation is a bit hackish and you get stuff like this: http://www.fabianowski.de/long_double.png Best regards, - Bartosz Fabianowski
