<b>Subject:</b> Announcing FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE!
<p>It is my usual pleasure (and, to a small degree, relief!
:) to announce the release of FreeBSD 2.0.5R - the final
release in the 2.0.5 series.
<p>This release provides both what I hope will be an exciting
glimpse of some of the new technologies and directions we
have planned for 2.1R and a stable and much
easier-to-install alternative to 2.0R.
<p>Highlights of this release are:
<ul>
<li>Multi-lingual documentation files.
<li>Completely menu driven installation.
<li>More installation media types.
<li>Support for a much larger range of PC hardware.
<li>Easy mounting of DOS partitions and CD devices
mounted automatically.
<li>"Canned" installation types for easy installs.
<li>Easy post-configuration menu
</ul>
<p>And many other new features and bug fixes.
<p>The ports and packages collection has also been bundled
with 2.0.5R to prevent synchronization errors. While this
does result in a larger overall distribution, it at least
ensures more consistent results when installing ports and
packages.
<p>More information on the release may be found in the
RELNOTES and README files, so I'll simply leave you all to
see for yourself!
<p>The usual locations:
<ul>
<li><a href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE</a>
<li><a href="ftp://freefall.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE">ftp://freefall.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE</a>
</ul>
<p>As well as the usual mirrors, once they pick it up.
<p>It is also available on CD from Walnut Creek CDROM, the
project's principle sponsors. Please see the release notes
for ordering information.
<p>Any feedback should be sent to <a
href="mailto:hackers@FreeBSD.org">hackers@FreeBSD.org</a>.
I will be leaving the country shortly (about 3 hours :) and
will try to read my email as often as possible, but for
quicker replies please send to the mailing list.
<p>Thank you!
<p> Jordan

<b>Subject:</b> 2.0.5-RELEASE update
<p>Yes, you have guessed it. As a result of the recent
feedback we have had about the original 2.0.5-RELEASE, we
have gone poking and found a couple of bugs on the
original boot.flp image. There is now a
<tt>/pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE/UPDATES</tt> directory on <a
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE/UPDATES">ftp.cdrom.com</a>
and <a
href="ftp://freefall.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE/UPDATES">freefall.cdrom.com</a>
with a version of boot.flp which will fix the following
problems:
<ul>
<li>The kernel was too big to boot on 4Mb machines.
<li>It was possible to specify the filesystem mount points
in such a way that the program would mount the filesystem
before the parent filesystem was mounted (e.g. it would
mount /usr/local and then /usr)
</ul>
<p>As the CDROM has not gone to replication yet, this updated
floppy image will be appearing on the CDROM.
<p>Sorry to all those who had problems with the first boot
floppy set - I will personally nail Jordan to his chair and
nail the chair to the floor in front of his computer the
next time we roll a release!
