(Even when I worked at Cisco, I never knew which of the internal mailing
lists could be posted to from outside, so Brian or Bo might need to
forward this.  "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?
