There are a few rough edges that you may or may not hit by testing the pre-release RC versions. They are mostly related to recent work in networking code, USB disk detection at boot time and a couple of other annoyances. So if you can help with the testing of these pre-release snapshots it may be worth to prepare for at least *some* problems with the latest 8.X-STABLE code. Having said that, the release engineering team is actively working to get these issues resolved. The FreeBSD Wiki shows a list of things that the RE team know as `being fixed and still being researched' at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/8.0TODO/#head-4fd8d27523492bffb9c0064bf41575c6db8fd194 Having said that, it is worth noting that if you can _help_ by running one of the RC versions and reporting back to us, you are more than welcome. The more testing the RC versions get, the greater number of pre-release issues we will discover and fix _before_ the final images are cut. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkrQ8OYACgkQ1g+UGjGGA7bkRACdFNWFz5Nu7ZZxJPPIXW22LXl/ WtQAn38yXFokFO3s1B73VtEsCmvYzFg1 =f3io -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
