These other copies of the errata are located at http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/, plus any sites which keep up-to-date mirrors of this location.

No news.
+Due to licensing issues uncovered late in FreeBSD + 4.7-RELEASE's release cycle, the + matcd(4) driver was + removed.
+ +The srelease distribution + contains object files for + sysinstall(8) in the release/sysinstall directory. These + files were generated during the release building process + but, for some reason, were not removed from the + distribution files. They are harmless.
+ +The databases/rdfdb and mail/ssmtp packages included in the + 4.7-RELEASE package set cannot be installed correctly. A + workaround is to build and install these programs using the + Ports Collection.
