I was away over 1st April, & came back to a backlog of mail when 1st April was no longer current, so didn't notice date for a few seconds, & found the announcement rather weird but not necessarily totaly daft ;-) ... FreeBSD-2.X is really obsolete, but some of us occasionaly keep/ resuscitate obsolete hardware (eg for vintage purposes http://vcfe.org/E/ ), one example: between FreeBSD-2 & 3 I think support for some old 8 bit scsi controllers was dumped, so old software can be attractive. So I checked on FTP site: no CHECKSUM.MD5, just a single file, 142 Meg ( 142 186 496 ) ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/2.2.9/2.2.9-RELEASE.iso That .iso contains 620 files, I didnt try running it [yet .. maybe] If it's some silly spoof, its quite elaborately big, if so, I'd suggest reduce to a README to save a lot of mirror space & bandwidth. Either way, a CHECKSUM.MD5 would be good. -- Julian Stacey. Consultant Unix Net & Sys. Eng., Munich. http://berklix.com Mail in Ascii, HTML=spam.
