I can update bits "...both architectures) will also be available via anonymous FTP as soon as it's been compiled in its final form." I had assumed this meant that some machine somewhere was busily cranking on making the ISO from a release hierarchy (and that as soon as this process was done, they'd be copied to the FTP site). If there was a secondary announcement about further testing before releasing the ISOs and I missed it, I apologize for my assumption and statement. > on an FTP site fairly easily.

However, if there is an ISO image of "what should be 4.0-RELEASE" somewhere, would it be a benefit to post that pointer to the qa list (less traffic than -current and less "visible" than -announce) in hopes that people would download it and give it one more series of run-thrus before the 20,000 CDs were burned? -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
