Significant features in this release: Ah, at last I can upgrade my old 2.2.8 without hassle. A minor note (maybe I am getting this wrong): my 2.2.8 is from January 1999, so shouldn't this be 87 months instead of 77? > - - The 8GB barrier in IDE drive sizes has finally been broken.

Hmm, the 4GB SCSI is still working fine here - and I still have a spare drive for replacement, but that is good news anyway. > A full description of the release can be found here: > > ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/2.2.9-RELEASE/README.TXT > ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/2.2.9-RELEASE/RELNOTES.TXT Looks okay to me. I am still missing support for IBMs Microchannel, though. Any chance this will be ready for the next release (2.2.10)? Anyway, thanks a lot to all involved for making FreeBSD even better ;-) Regards, Holger
