[Peter: Please see that this goes to c.u.b.f.a - thanks!] Currently on: ftp://freefall.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-950412-SNAP And soon to be on: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-950412-SNAP As soon as I can make some room. Mirror sites may wish to remove the older 2.0-950210-SNAP if they still have it and allow 950412-SNAP to supercede it (I will adjust the symlinks in it to point to the newer distribution). This distribution should signify a new high point in the general stability of 2.1-development, combined with many advanced features slated for 2.1. I hope everyone enjoys it! >From the README: --- Latest snapshot from April 12th, 1995. WHATS NEW [not a complete list] ------------------------------- o Even more bugs fixed. o Driver for Matsushita CDROM ("Sound blaster" CDROM) in second revision - it now supports audio commands. o Driver for Adaptec 294x improved. o FDDI network interface support (DEC cards) improved. o Support for DEC 100Mbit "FAST" ethernet cards (DE 500-XA). o /etc files revamped fairly significantly - most customization done through one file now, /etc/sysconfig. o Performance improvements to networking code (connection information now hashed rather than being stored in a linear linked list). o Package code improved - now supports package dependencies. o New version of "libforms". KNOWN PROBLEMS -------------- If you want to run programs linked under 2.0 (this includes the XFree86 3.1.1 distribution), you will need the file libgcc.so.261.0, which you'll find in this directory. Install it in /usr/lib. The hostname still isn't being set properly in /etc/sysconfig for some reason - you should edit this file after the initial installation and customize it for your system. The comments in the file should make the fields you need/want to change pretty self-explanatory. Comments to: current@freebsd.org. Bugs to: bugs@freebsd.org use the "send-pr" command To subscribe to the "current", "hackers", "questions" or any of the other FreeBSD mailing lists, send mail to "majordomo@freebsd.org" and say "help" somewhere in the text of your message. For other general FreeBSD information, send mail to "info@freebsd.org" or feed your WEB browser the URL: http://www.freebsd.org/ Please identify the version of this snapshot (950322-SNAP) as what you're running when reporting problems or making comments. --- Thanks, as usual, to all the regular suspects and fond hopes that this will get some of the people who've been having trouble installing previous snapshots FreeBSD off the ground!
