FreeBSD 4.7 ?

Noticed that FreeBSD 6 is supported.

Is FreeBSD 4.7 supported?

I tried the server install and it couldn't find the ld-elf.so.1 library. Wondering if there are any fixes for this.

If not, how about the agent? I can probably swing a linux install for the server but I need to monitor some FreeBSD processes as well.

We've looked at FreeBSD 4. We can build an agent for FreeBSD 4, but we believe many of our plugins wont work.
Theres quite a significant difference between 4 and 6.
How many machines do you need it for and what specifically do you want to monitor.
The thinking is, it may be something you can monitor remotely with BixServer or through SNMP.
