The first of the test builds for the FreeBSD 8.1 release cycle is now available for amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, pc98, and sparc64 architectures. Files suitable for creating installation media or doing FTP based installs through the network should be on most of the FreeBSD mirror sites by now. MD5/SHA256 checksums of the images are at the bottom of this message. The ISOs for this build do not include packages other than the docs. For amd64 and i386 "memstick" images are also available that can be copied to a USB "memory stick" (also called "thumb drive") and used for installs on machines that support booting from that type of media. The target schedule for the release is available here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/schedule.html and the wiki page tracking the current status is here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/8.1TODO If you find problems you can report them through the normal Gnats based PR system or here on this mailing list. If you are updating an already running machine the CVS branch tag is RELENG_8, or if you prefer SVN use "stable/8". Updates done that way will result in a machine that says it is running "8.1-PRERELEASE". The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 8.0-RELEASE can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.1-BETA1 During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically performed merging was done correctly. # freebsd-update install The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing. # shutdown -r now After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again: # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r now Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 7.x) can also use freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 8.1-BETA1, but will be prompted to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., anything installed from the ports tree) after the second invocation of "freebsd-update install", in order to handle differences in the system libraries between FreeBSD 7.x and FreeBSD 8.x.
