Re: ANNOUNCE: [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE is now available

2005-05-14 Thread NAKAJI Hiroyuki
Thanks for the great work.

I installed it on a laptop PC, NEC VersaPro NX VA20C, for my
friend. It works fine without any problem. You can see the
/var/run/dmesg.boot at

http://heimat.jp/~nakaji/FreeBSD/dmesg.boot.va20c

But there was a problem when installing.

I had to give up ftp installation and download larger iso file.

   MD5 (5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso) = 3dbb37485535e129354bc099e24aed99

With this CD or 3 froppies, the installation goes well.

What is different?

Worked for me.  Maybe you burnt it on a bad medium?

Maybe. Or CD-R drive may have some problem, because disc1 was burnt on
another same medium but with another DVD-R drive.

Anyway, 5.4-RELEASE is now working. Thanks.

 The Release Engineering Team is happy to announce the availability
 of FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, the latest release of the FreeBSD Stable
 development branch.  Since FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE in November 2004 we have
 made many improvements in functionality, stability, performance, and device
 driver support for some hardware, as well as dealt with known security issues
 and made many bugfixes.
 
 For a complete list of new features, known problems, and late-breaking
 news, please see the release notes and errata list, available here:

   http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/5.4R/errata.html
 
 FreeBSD 5.4 will become an Errata Branch.  In addition to Security
 fixes other well-tested fixes to basic functionality will be committed
 to the RELENG_5.4 branch after the release.  Both Security Advisories
 and Errata Notices are announced on the freebsd-announce@freebsd.org
 mailing list.
 
 It is expected there will be at least one more release from the RELENG_5
 branch, most likely two.  The current plans are for the RELENG_6 branch
 to be created within the next few months, and an initial 6.0-RELEASE will
 be made a few months afterwards.  There will be a 5.5-RELEASE following
 a few months after the 6.0-RELEASE.

 The FreeBSD 5.4 Release is dedicated to the memory of Cameron Grant.
 Cameron was an active FreeBSD Developer and principal architect of the
 sound driver subsystem despite his physical handicap.  His is a superb
 example of human spirit dominating over adversity.  Cameron was an
 inspiration to those who met him; he will be fondly remembered and sorely
 missed.
 
 Availability
 
 
 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE supports the i386, amd64, ia64, pc98, sparc64, and
 alpha architectures and can be installed directly over the net, using
 bootable media, or copied to a local NFS/FTP server.  Distributions for
 all architectures except alpha are available now.  The distribution for
 alpha should become available within the next day or two.

Alpha is now also available.
