I'll get started on a new snapshot build of -current as of shortly after this commit and replace the ISO image in snapshots/sparc64 on the FreeBSD mirror sites (well, the ones that carry snapshots/ anyway). When it's in place I'll let you know. Probably two or three days. As a reminder, Garance's instructions have been excellent so far. I'm just doing this in case someone does wind up having problems and ends up with a machine that won't boot. Installing from this snapshot once it's built would start you off with a machine that already has the 64-bit time_t change done so you wouldn't need to re-attempt the upgrade. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith_at_cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |Received on Wed Mar 10 2004 - 09:09:07 UTC
