Is there a 32bit version of FreeBSD?

[pstein]

I want to run FreeBSD on a notebook with only 32bit hardware.

As far as I can see the standard is 64bit FreeBSD.

Is there a 32bit version to download?

Possibly as VmWare image?

Thank you
Peter

Thank you.

But one more question:

If I download the i386 VmWare image of v10.1 it has an extension .xz

How can I extract it?

Depending on the OS you are using there are many utilities for that. In FreeBSD you can use tar() for example.

If I remember correctly, on CentOS-6.6, tar wouldn't work. I had to install a program called xz and then extract with xz -d myfile.xz. Not sure about other systems, I think that the only time I ran into it was on a CentOS system.

Untested on anything, relying on my bad memory and an article I wrote a few years ago.

Ahh, looking at that old article, if it was a tar.xz, then the tar command would work, but if it was a single file, I had to use the xz -d command described above.

EDIT: Original post incorrectly gave the command as xz -x. tobik posted the correct version and I've edited my post to reflect it.

7-zip should work.

 

[tobik@]

xz -x myfile.xz

This should be xz -d myfile.xz

Again, IF I remember correctly, back when I ran into this type of file, 7zip didn't work. (I don't remember what version, I think it was probably on CentOS-6.x)

In CentOS you need to install it with: yum install xz
