I built a "make release" overnight and I managed to install from it by copying the boot.flp image to a ZIP disk, selecting Minimum and FTP passive. So far so good. But we all know that sysintall has a few more bells and whistles than that, so NOW is the TIME of all good men to come to the aid of their favourite installer! I want as many people as possible to beat up on sysinstall as much as they can. And I want them to do it RSN: 5.0-R is only 9 days away. Please try to be creative in the choices you make in sysinstall, we don't need 20 people all testing ftp-passive, we need to get all the media options tested, IPv4 and IPv6, all the different distributions, scripted installs, on different hardware configs and so. If you find problems, please try to see if you reproduce them, if you can, try to see if you can isolate them to some particular menu choice or set of circumstances. Please report your findings with send-pr. If you don't have the machine-power to run make release yourself, I hope the japanese snapshot server is producing good snapshots, if that fails, I would appreciate if somebody will produce and put up good releases and/or ISO images somewhere. I can't promise to fix all the issues which come up, but I will do my very best... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
