-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all, I have just completed the long awaited, first 64bit build of the 'Custom releases' project hosted here: http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com You may download the ISO file immediately using the downloads page: http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com/downloads-page This release is based on the latest XFCE desktop and includes a wide variety of desktop-related packages, like OpenOffice, abiword, gnumeric, firefox35, gimp, inkscape, evince and so on. The base system is 8.0-RELEASE-p1 which includes the latest security fixes. Make sure to read the README file: http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/amd64/README.TXT as it contains important information on installation and esp. a few steps that are required for a successful install. In particular note: * The 'doc' set (FreeBSD documentation) is not included in this release due to problems in the related package builds. We will include them in next releases when the problem is resolved. * The 'libchek-0.9.8' will have to be selected manually in the package selection dialog. This seems to be a problem with the INDEX file. * Installing linux related packages during initial setup needs a few more steps. This is due to differences in sysinstall between 7.X and 8.0 releases. A detailed explanation is provided in the README file. As always, please report any problems, success stories, comments and criticisms to manolis@FreeBSD.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAks1yCYACgkQZ/MxGm4PtJT1VACdGI9nn/MFWmvanW6L5gfqIe6W sS4AnRpLq2W+49upLFWyIKEV1pgU5Dj9 =vap7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
