The i386 FTP installation directory and mini-ISO is available now from our many mirrors, and the Alpha bits should be available in the next 48 hours. I found a few inconsistencies with the latest package set that we were going to use for this one, so I haven't uploaded a full disc1 ISO at this time. When those problems are resolved a full disc1 ISO will be made available. In the mean time, there are a lot of new features in 4.8-RC base system that could use testing. I've started the usual testing guide here : http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.8R/qa.html Please email re@ if you have an open issue that should be reflected on this page (actually, it's in CVS so sending a diff would be best!). It would be nice to close some of the open sysinstall buglets before this release goes out. Please consider looking through the PR database and helping us squash some subtle sysinstall bugs. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit here : http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?category=&severity=&priority=&class=&state=&sort=none&text=&responsible=freebsd-qa&multitext=&originator=&release= As always, thanks for your help making this FreeBSD release a success. - Murray / Release Engineering Team --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE+Yz0MtNcQog5FH30RAvdhAKCijiq8KGcnlu/FTn3k6Oubm61t3QCgqcRS phTPKhUYckuNRRFNNKtFaTA= =Xwh8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
