They are being done, they're just failing at the creation of the boot floppies and failing to complete at the moment. Once that is fixed, a snapshot will be able to finish to completion and be put on releng4.freebsd.org. You'll have to either wait until that is fixed or try to make your own snapshot with a stripped down GENERIC kernel that would not be too big. Hopefully a solution will be found soon. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
