No dice.

freeBSD i386 is little more than useless. i386 as a platform has a limited life, and is being swallowed up by amd64. The only reason to stick to i386 _now_ is compatibility with nvidia and flash binaries. We really do not want to preserve that any longer than it is now. The 4G memory limit is beginning to get in the road of things as it is.

What we _do_ want is for adobe to support the gnash project, and produce a fully-functional, open source flash that we can port and compile on whatever platform we desire.

Flash for Tamagotchi FTW.
