Date: Thu, 06 Mar 1997 21:44:52 -0800 Message-ID: <12329.857713492@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We're in the final week, folks, so I just thought I'd remind everyone to check those whiteboards and get any last installation bogon reports to me. 22gamma.freebsd.org has been hosed for the last 3 days on a failing disk, but they (CALWEB) swapped it out last night and the 2.2-970306-SNAP build is now underway. I'm hoping that this machine will be up through the remainder of the 2.2 GAMMA test period. The only two items I have on my TODO list WRT sysinstall are: 1. The package installer seems to time out on FTP connections; investigating. 2. There are 3 outstanding PRs open against it for various crash bugs / undo failures in the partition and disklabel editors. I'll be getting to these also. So if there are unreported problems with it, REPORT THEM NOW please! :-) I'll do my best to ensure that FreeBSD 2.2 is the easiest, most hassle-free installation of them all, but I need your help here since I've long since lost the ability to install it as a "normal user" and you guys just manage to pick paths through it which would never have occurred to me. :-) And on the non-sysinstall front, now would be a real good time to start clearing those 2.2 whiteboards, folks!
