      This second link is out-of-date - FBSD support is in the main
development tarball now.

Note that the FreeBSD support is still "beta", in a sense. It has not been
tested extensively on 4.x, so please send any problems (with logfiles! -
read the Mondo support page) to me. Better yet, subscribe to the mondo-devel
mailing list & send them there.

Thanks!
