Well, not quite. I'm working right now (in case anyone had any doubts after seeing the sysinstall commits :-) on the 2.2-960321-SNAP CDROM, and my first test installations have been fairly promising, modulo the already-reported problems with tzsetup. I also grabbed the packages-current directory off of ftp.cdrom.com yesterday and burned it onto a CD so that I have it handy - I'm basically going to put everything you saw on the last CD snapshot (the one I had on freefall for awhile) on there plus the packages plus perhaps a few other last minute goodies. Then we're going to do a run of about 900 of them and make them available to developers in the next 2 weeks or so (assuming that we can get a fast turn from the production plant). Oh yeah, as usual the core team and major contributors will get freebies, though I have to say that I can't be quite so generous with this batch due to the very small run and lower profit margin, so please (not you Nate, but -hackers and -ports in general) don't deluge me with requests if all you have is a port or 10 line bug fix in there. I can afford to be generous with major releases because they're produced in about 10 times the quantity and have a much longer shelf-life. Hope everyone understands. These will be going for $24.95 for one-time purchase and $19.95 for subscription (plus the usual $5 S&H). This now ends my commercial announcement.. ;-) Jordan
