Hi Rich, I wanted the ISO to see if an older version would work on my G5. I had tried RC1, and it would freeze after a minute or so after booting up, and I had a similar experience on my TiBook (ppc32), which runs BETA2/-CURRENT (doesn't lock up every time, but locks up "eventually" sometimes), but not on my MDD (ppc32) which runs something from around BETA1, so was hoping reverting to BETA1 would fix things. Someone from ##freebsd linked me to a source for it, so I tried and it failed (see the other thread regarding the problem for (slightly) more details). - Justin
