"Hi" to everyone who remembers me.) I haven't grabbed the 4.6 mini-ISO yet, but I will soon. Four-fifths of the release engineering team (murray, rwatson, jhb, bmah) was at the FreeBSD Developer Summit at USENIX, which finished today. I know that murray had (is having) some problems getting the ISO images to ftp-master intact. The details make for a long, rambling saga that I won't bore people with...they involve a lack of bandwidth and CDRs that won't burn correctly. :-( I don't know if these problems could have affected the mini-ISO...my impression was "not". Bruce. PS. What symptoms of failure did you see with the mini-ISO? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
