Administrative notices. Date: Sun, 12 Oct 1997 10:52:59 -0700 Message-ID: <3471.876678779@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This is just a notice that time is running out in the BETA test period and also to inform the commercial folks again that if they have demo software which they want shipped in the commercial distribution, now would really be a good time to let me know! Similarly, if you have some experimental bit of code which you'd like included in the experimental ("xperimnt") distribution, send me a URL for the tarball and a README (or a URL to the README :) and it's in. Note: Please don't submit other people's work for these collections, even if you think that they really would like to have their software distributed in that way if they only knew about the opportunity themselves. If you think that some company or individual is missing an "advertising" opportunity here, contact them instead and ask them to send me an email as requested above. Testers: Another BETA snapshot, 2.2.5-971012-BETA, will be going up on ftp.freebsd.org today. Test-installing this one is especially important as it has a fair number of installation fixes made to it and I'd like as much testing of them as possible. Folks will probably most immediately notice that the annoying display bugs in the Distribution menu have gone away. :-) I've also made the label and partition editors much more usable from multi-user mode. Thanks! Jordan
