In reverse order: 2.1.5-RELEASE should (note: SHOULD) be out in the next week, if the remaining niggling problems with the install s/w can be ironed out. Almost everything else is ready to roll (there are some niggles in the ports too, but they should be ironed out by the end of the weekend). To reply to your query about the boot floppy, you possibly COULD do that (I believe there is a feature which allows you to specify where to get the data from), but it'll mean that you'll end up with an installed system which still doesn't have the if_vx ethernet driver (the installed kernel comes from the bin dist as the kernel on the boot floppy is quite badly ``mangled'' to make it a boot floppy). So you'd probably be better waiting to see if we can get 2.1.5 out this week as planned. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
