[afnog] FreeBSD 7.2 on Sun

[Emmanuel Tessua]

Hello Phil,
May be i'm mistaken. But i have those original CDs on a 4 cd compact, and
on top of each CD it is written, "A COMPLETE HIGH-PERFOMANCE 32/64 BIT
UNIX OPERATING SYSTEM", that is why i thought the same CDs has both
versions.
Well then, i am going to download ver 8.2.
Thank you.
