Hubbard" <jkh@zippy.osd.bsdi.com><br> + <b>To:</b> announce@FreeBSD.org<br> + <b>Subject:</b> 4.1-RELEASE now available from ftp.freebsd.org</p> + +<p>I'm very pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE, +the very latest in 4.x-STABLE branch technology. Following the +release of FreeBSD 4.0 in March, 2000, many bugs were fixed, important +security issues dealt with, and quite a few new features added. +Please see the release notes for more information.</p> + +<p>The 4.1-RELEASE is available for +<a href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1-RELEASE">i386</a> +and +<a href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/4.1-RELEASE">alpha</a> +right now and can be installed directly over the net using the boot floppies +or copied to a local NFS/ftp server. ISO images will also be provided +later (see below).</p> + +ISO (CD) Images<br> +---------------<br> +<p>ISO images of the installation CD will be made available by August 1st +2000, after the bits have undergone a bit more integration testing. +This additional delay is necessary given that the ISO images are so +large (~650MB each) and are not something which many people want to +transfer more than once. A follow-up announcement will be sent once +the ISO images are in place, so please don't send me email asking +where they are or when they'll be ready. When they're ready, they'll +be uploaded and an announcement will be sent out.</p> + +<p>We also can't promise that all the mirror sites will carry these large +ISO images, but they will at least be available from:</p> + +<p><a href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.1-install.iso"> +ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.1-install.iso</a><br> +<a href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/4.1-install.iso"> +ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/4.1-install.iso</a></p> + +<p>If you can't afford the CDs, are impatient, or just want to use it for +evangelism purposes, then by all means download the ISOs, otherwise please +do continue to support the FreeBSD project by purchasing one of its +official CD releases from BSDi. FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE can be ordered as a +4 CD set from <a href="http://www.freebsdmall.com">The FreeBSD Mall</a> +from where it will soon be shipping. Each CD sets contains the FreeBSD +installation and application package bits for either the x86 or the +alpha architecture (each architecture has its own CD set). For a set of +distfiles used to build ports in the ports collection, please see also the +FreeBSD Toolkit, a 6 CD set containing all such extra bits which we can no +longer fit on the 4 CD sets. You can also order by phone, postal mail, +FAX or email at:</p> + +<pre> + BSDi + 4041 Pike Lane, #F + Concord CA, 94520 USA + Phone: +1 925 674-0783 + Fax: +1 925 674-0821 + Tech Support: +1 925 603-1234 + Email: orders@wccdrom.com + WWW: http://www.wccdrom.com/ +</pre> + +<p>FreeBSD is also available via anonymous FTP from mirror sites in the +following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, +Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, +Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Latvia, +Malaysia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Russia, +Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Elbonia, the +Ukraine and the United Kingdom (and quite possibly several others +which I've never even heard of :).</p> + +<p>Before trying the central FTP site, please check your regional +mirror(s) first by going to:</p> + +<p><kbd>ftp://ftp.<yourdomain>.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD</kbd></p> + +<p>Any additional mirror sites will be labeled ftp2, ftp3 and so on.</p> + +<p>The latest versions of export-restricted code for FreeBSD are also +being made available at the following locations.
