MidnightBSD 0.2.1 has been released. This version focused on adding
hardware for newer devices including ati, nvidia and intel sata
controllers, and wireless support standard. A great deal of work was
put into creating packages with over 2000 packages available on our
FTP. The new release includes 2 CDs of packages plus X11 on disc1.
Other software updated: gcc 3.4.6, bind 9.4.2-p1, sendmail, bzip2,
openssh 5.0p1, pcc compiler added (i386), removal of gnu cpio for bsd
licensed version, cpdup added, ipv6 fixes, mksh added
The files are available on ftp1.midnightbsd.org and some users have
reported success with mirrors.isc.org. The other mirrors should rsync
within the next 24 hours.
Special thanks to ctriv@, smultron@, crash@, archite@, seirei@ and
raven@ for help with this release.
A full change log is available with the release, or via cvsweb http://cvsweb.midnightbsd.org/src/UPDATING
Users who install kde from the ISOs will be able to enable graphical
login on bootup. A script now runs on the first boot asking to enable
bsdstats and "graphical desktop environment". If the script finds
kdm, it will enable it automatically. If you select yes without KDE,
it will install and enable slim login manager. I would greatly
appreciate users installing bsdstats so that we can get a better idea
on usage.
If you need to rerun the firstboot script, just rm /etc/fbreciept and
then sh /etc/rc.d/firstboot start
