Date: Mon, 10 Feb 1997 18:37:19 -0800 Message-ID: <4522.855628639@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-announce@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.0-970209-SNAP and the various FreeBSD mirrors. A SNAPshot was done at this time for various reasons, chief among them being: o John Dyson's 4.4Lite2 changes were coming into -current, and I wanted a last SNAP out before this happened (it could be a couple of weeks before everything works properly in -current again). o A fair number of things have changed in sysinstall to fix various bugs and/or shortcomings reported in the previous SNAP. Some of these fixes, like those made to turn sysinstall into a more effective post-configuration tool, required architectural changes which may have other side-effects and should therefore be tested as vigorously as possible in this SNAP (both for installation and for post-install configuration). o I really wanted to. I've also rearranged the {README,ABOUT}.TXT files to hopefully present the important information in more cogent form. Further improvements in this area are probably called for. Feedback to current@freebsd.org please (unless it's a clear and obvious bug, in which case send-pr(1) or http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr should be employed). Thanks! Jordan
