--+nBD6E3TurpgldQp Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Our third 4.5 release candidate is now available : ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.5-RC3 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.5-RC3-install.iso This release candidate fixes a number of issues that were reported with RC2. Installations from aic(4)-based PCMCIA devices should now be possible. For this RC, bge(4) was added to the GENERIC kernel and the txp(4) device was moved over to the MFSROOT as a module. This should allow network installations with Broadcom gigabit Ethernet adapters.[1] A number of suggestions about the package set were addressed with this RC, but unfortunately sawfish-gnome, fvwm2, and xfmail are still unavailable. There will be one final release candidate (RC4) before the final release is made available. The testing guide and release notes have been updated with a few new items : http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.5R/qa.html http://www.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes Thanks, The FreeBSD 4.5 Release Engineering Team. [1] This functionality has not been committed to -STABLE yet, a small patch was patched to the build with "make release LOCAL_PATCHES=..". The patch is available at http://www.freebsd.org/~murray/patches/drivers.diff, and simply turns on a new device for the boot floppy. --+nBD6E3TurpgldQp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (SunOS) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8T9yrtNcQog5FH30RArCHAJ91r2+7zlMPrp240YaLU7dDD31kCgCgo6lB HZGVTnXDYo1qCisqJ8H1P5I= =RKAD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --+nBD6E3TurpgldQp-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
