FreeBSD 4.7-RC2 (the second release candidate for FreeBSD 4.7) is now
available for the i386 architecture from the usual FTP sites.  Both an
FTP site and a "disc 1" ISO image are available, respectively from:

ftp://<mirror-site>/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.7-RC2/
ftp://<mirror-site>/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.7/

The biggest change from 4.7-RC1 is that the ISO image has most of the
packages one would expect to see on the install CD, and that the pkg_*
utilities once again have the same functionality as in prior FreeBSD
releases.

We invite interested users to try out this snapshot and provide
feedback (via the qa@ list) on issues to be fixed before 4.7-RELEASE,
currently scheduled for 1 October 2002.  Depending on the feedback we
get (and the magnitude of any remaining bugfixes required before
release), we may do another release candidate snapshot before the
release.

Before reporting problems, please check the QA page for this
release-in-progress, to make sure that a problem has not already been
encountered:

FreeBSD 4.7-RC2 for the alpha architecture is being built now and
should be available shortly.

Many thanks to Sentex Communications for making available a fast,
well-connected i386 machine for release builds.
