Ken Smith mengumumkan ketersediaan kandidat rilis pertama FreeBSD 8.1: The first release candidate for the FreeBSD 8.1 release cycle is now available for amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, and sparc64 architectures. Files suitable for creating installation media or doing FTP-based installs through the network should be available on most of the FreeBSD mirror sites. For the amd64 and i386 architectures the DVD images have a preliminary set of packages in the ISO files. Unfortunately due to some limitations of the FTP mirroring system we are limited to images no larger than 2 GB so the packages available on the installation media is limited (almost down to just GNOME/KDE). We will work to remove that limitation but that won’t happen before 8.1 is to become available. ...
