FreeBSD: 7.1-BETA & 6.4-BETA Availables

"The FreeBSD 7.1-BETA and 6.4-BETA builds are now available on the FreeBSD FTP mirror sites. This is the first step in the release process for FreeBSD-7.1 and FreeBSD-6.4. This set of builds do not include pre-built packages. The ISOs are available from:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/${arch}/ISO-IMAGES/7.1/
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/${arch}/ISO-IMAGES/6.4/

where $arch is one of alpha, amd64, i386, ia64, pc98, powerpc, or sparc64. For the Tier-2 architectures ia64 and powerpc only the 7.1-BETA builds are available. For the Tier-2 architecture alpha only the 6.4-BETA builds are available.

We encourage people to help out with the testing. Problems can be reported through Gnats or on the freebsd-stable at freebsd.org mailing list. At this point we expect the 6.4-RC1 builds to start in about two weeks, and the 7.1-RC1 builds a week after that."
