+Subject:FreeBSD 2.2.7 is now released!

+ +

It is my usual pleasure to announce the release of FreeBSD 2.2.7, our +latest release along the 2.2-stable branch. Those folks who are still +running 2.1.x and wish to upgrade to 2.2 technology are encouraged to +do so as 2.2.7 has reached a more than equivalent level of stability +in all of our tests. A number of problems with 2.2.6 have also been +fixed (see the release notes for more +information).

+ +

FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE is available on ftp.freebsd.org and +various FTP mirror sites +throughout the world. It can also be ordered on CD from +Walnut Creek CDROM, from where it +will be shipping shortly as a 4 CD set containing a lot of extra stuff +of interest to programmers and general users alike.

+ +

IMPORTANT NOTE: All of the profits from the sales of this CD set +go to support the FreeBSD Project!

+ +

Like many businesses in the field of high-tech, Walnut Creek CDROM has +realized that in order to make any product for an emerging market +grow, you have to make a significant investment in such growth, even +if it means abandoning short-term profits. Walnut Creek CDROM is the +only CDROM vendor who currently does anything like this and it's +certainly my hope that you will help support the project by buying (or +getting someone else to buy :) one of their CDs. Thanks!

+Fix: Should this happen to you, run /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup by hand

+
+2. Supported Configurations
+---------------------------
+
+FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
+based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
+386sx is not recommended).  Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
+configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
+also provided.
+
+What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with
+FreeBSD.  Other configurations may also work, we have simply not as yet
+received confirmation of this.
+
+
+2.1. Disk Controllers
+---------------------
+
+WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
+WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)

+controllers.
+Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI controllers.
+
+** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no
+   on-board BIOS, such being necessary for mapping the boot device into the
+   system BIOS I/O vectors.  They're perfectly usable for external tapes,
+   CDROMs, etc, however.  The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
+   without a boot ROM.  Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally
+   indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up
+   or reset, and in such cases you *will* also be able to boot from them.
+   Check your system/board documentation for more details.

+3. Obtaining FreeBSD
+--------------------
+
+You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
+
+3.1. FTP/Mail
+-------------
+
+You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
+`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
+
+For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
+MIRROR.SITES.  Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
+networking terms) to you.  Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
+Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to 
+become an official mirror site.
+
+If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your
+only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
+`ftpmail@ftpmail.vix.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
+to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
+Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
+megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
+LAST resort!
+
+
+3.2. CDROM
+----------
+
+FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP and 2.2.x-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
+
+        Walnut Creek CDROM
+        4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
+        Concord CA  94520
+        1-800-786-9907, +1-925-674-0783, +1-925-674-0821 (FAX)
+
+Or via the Internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
+Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp from:
+
+        ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog
+
+Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
+FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP CDs are $39.95 or $14.95 with a FreeBSD-SNAP subscription
+(-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely separate).  With a
+subscription, you will automatically receive updates as they are released.
+Your credit card will be billed when each disk is shipped and you may cancel
+your subscription at any time without further obligation.
+
+Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
+and $9.00 overseas.  They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
+Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
+States.  California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
+
+Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
+unconditional return policy.
+
+
+4. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
+valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
+(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
+
+The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
+Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
+script at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html.  Bug reports
+will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
+be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
+as possible.  Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
+in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
+and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
+watch out for.
+
+If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
+submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
+ 
+               freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
+ 
+Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
+even onto a totally different system.  We much prefer if you could use
+this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
+reports.  However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
+the problem might have already been fixed since.
+ 
+Otherwise, for any questions or tech support issues, please send mail to:
+ 
+               freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org
+ 
+Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
+extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
+enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves!  To
+contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
+mail to:
+ 
+               freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org
+ 
+Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
+amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
+are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
+may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
+ 
+               freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org
+ 
+All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing
+to do so.  Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
+`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message.  This
+will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
+archives, etc.  There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
+special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
+and ask about them!
+ 
+5. Acknowledgements

+Subject:FreeBSD 2.2.7 is now released!

+ +

It is my usual pleasure to announce the release of FreeBSD 2.2.7, our +latest release along the 2.2-stable branch. Those folks who are still +running 2.1.x and wish to upgrade to 2.2 technology are encouraged to +do so as 2.2.7 has reached a more than equivalent level of stability +in all of our tests. A number of problems with 2.2.6 have also been +fixed (see the release notes for more +information).

Like many businesses in the field of high-tech, Walnut Creek CDROM has +realized that in order to make any product for an emerging market +grow, you have to make a significant investment in such growth, even +if it means abandoning short-term profits. Walnut Creek CDROM is the +only CDROM vendor who currently does anything like this and it's +certainly my hope that you will help support the project by buying (or +getting someone else to buy :) one of their CDs. Thanks!

+
+---- System Update Information:
+
+o XFree86:  The XF86Setup utility sometimes fails with an XIO
+  error (visible on the 2nd VTY) rather than starting properly if you
+  run it during system installation time.  This is not a new bug and
+  has been seen in previous releases of FreeBSD, but it seems to happen
+  far more reliably with 2.2.7 now (for some as yet unknown reason).
+
+Fix: Should this happen to you, run /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup by hand
+     after the system comes up off the hard disk for the first time.
+     For some reason, when not run off the boot floppy or CD, it works
+     perfectly (making this one somewhat more difficult to debug).

+
+2. Supported Configurations
+---------------------------
+
+FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus
+based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
+386sx is not recommended).  Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
+configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
+also provided.
+
+What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with
+FreeBSD.  Other configurations may also work, we have simply not as yet
+received confirmation of this.
+
+
+2.1. Disk Controllers
+---------------------
+
+WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
+WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
+IDE

+controllers.
+Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI controllers.
+
+** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no
+   on-board BIOS, such being necessary for mapping the boot device into the
+   system BIOS I/O vectors.  They're perfectly usable for external tapes,
+   CDROMs, etc, however.  The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
+   without a boot ROM.  Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally
+   indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up
+   or reset, and in such cases you *will* also be able to boot from them.
+   Check your system/board documentation for more details.

+3. Obtaining FreeBSD
+--------------------
+
+You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
+
+3.1. FTP/Mail
+-------------
+
+You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
+`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
+
+For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
+MIRROR.SITES.  Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
+networking terms) to you.  Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
+Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to 
+become an official mirror site.
+
+If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your
+only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
+`ftpmail@ftpmail.vix.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
+to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
+Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
+megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
+LAST resort!
+
+
+3.2. CDROM
+----------
+
+FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP and 2.2.x-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
+
+        Walnut Creek CDROM
+        4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
+        Concord CA  94520
+        1-800-786-9907, +1-925-674-0783, +1-925-674-0821 (FAX)
+
+Or via the Internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
+Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp from:
+
+        ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog
+
+Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
+FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP CDs are $39.95 or $14.95 with a FreeBSD-SNAP subscription
+(-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely separate).  With a
+subscription, you will automatically receive updates as they are released.
+Your credit card will be billed when each disk is shipped and you may cancel
+your subscription at any time without further obligation.
+
+Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
+and $9.00 overseas.  They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
+Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
+States.  California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
+
+Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
+unconditional return policy.
+
+
+4. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
+valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
+(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
+
+The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
+Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
+script at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html.  Bug reports
+will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
+be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
+as possible.  Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
+in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
+and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
+watch out for.
+
+If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
+submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
+ 
+               freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
+ 
+Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
+even onto a totally different system.  We much prefer if you could use
+this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
+reports.  However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
+the problem might have already been fixed since.
+ 
+Otherwise, for any questions or tech support issues, please send mail to:
+ 
+               freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org
+ 
+Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
+extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
+enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves!  To
+contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
+mail to:
+ 
+               freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org
+ 
+Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
+amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
+are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
+may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
+ 
+               freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org
+ 
+All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing
+to do so.  Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
+`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message.  This
+will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
+archives, etc.  There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
+special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
+and ask about them!
+
