It will require re-rolling 4.4-install.iso and 4.4-mini.iso. If you want to petition hubs@freebsd.org to see if they'd object to re-mirroring them, that would be a good first step. If they don't disagree, I'm sure Murray would be happy to fix them in his ISO build tree and push them back up to ftp-master again. I believe he already did this for the set going out from WRS. - Jordan > * Bruce A.
