Yes, we know, it's different from what the toolchain and kernel use. As it happens, so is i386. Of course, in the kernel menu that users see it's: AMD-Opteron/Athlon64 Intel x86-64 Generic-x86-64 Guess they must be pimping everyone. Of course, I hope that on the ports page, regardless of the port name we use, it points out that the architecture was developed by AMD. Hell, if we *didn't* say that people would have good reason to wonder about us and our motives. Stephen
