Just a heads-up regarding the 9.3-RC2 i386 memstick and mini-memstick
images:

The xz(1)-compressed images for the i386 architecture are broken.  The
uncompressed images on FTP are not affected.

There is a known problem when creating the memstick images within
chroot(8) in an i386 userland on an amd64 kernel.  To work around this,
a script runs after the release build for i386 that uses the amd64
binaries to regenerate the image.  The problem with the xz(1)-compressed
images on FTP is that the script was not removing the compressed
versions that were already there, so xz(1) did not overwrite with the
fixed images.  This will be fixed for 9.3-RC3.

Apologies to anyone that downloaded and had issues with the compressed
i386 memstick.img and mini-memstick.img files, and Thank you to Juergen
Lock (nox@) for pointing out the issue.

Glen
