FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC available

All,

Based on user feedback from the FreeBSD 5.2 release, we have decided to
make several targeted improvements to the RELENG_5_2 branch and
re-release it as FreeBSD 5.2.1.  The complete list of changes can be
found in the release notes, but the major items are:

- many improvements and fixes to the ATA driver
- new kdeadmin3 package to address the 'KUser' problem
- fixes to several network drivers, IPSec, NFSv4, and NNS.
- fix for the cd bootloader code to handle USB cdrom drives.

This does not include any other new features or functional changes.
Please take some time to download the RC and verify that it works.
ISO images and FTP bits are available for i386, sparc64, amd64, and
pc98 right now.  alpha and possible ia64 will follow shortly.
Attached are the MD5 checksums for the ISO images.

Thanks!

The Release Engineering Team
