Where Where Where. I haven't released it into general distribution yet due to the rather short period of time between 1.1.5A and 1.1.5R (a lot of folks here would probably just as soon wait the extra week). Still, I've always said it's best to let folks chose for themselves, so here we go: freefall.cdrom.com:~ftp/pub/incoming/1.1.5A This is the 1.1.5 ALPHA release. So far, there have proven to be very few problems with this release, and those problems found have been essentially cosmetic. Still, this is essentially an interim ALPHA so you should not expect that I'll necessarily be providing patches or transitional support from 1.1.5A to 1.1.5R. The people I targeted with 1.1.5A were those who didn't mind starting over with each new release, or knew enough about FreeBSD at this point to incrementally upgrade themselves without much hand-holding. I've also not provided a 1.1.5A srcdist at this time due to some minor logistical problems with the src tree which I may simply punt on until 1.1.5R (we're talking like 4 days left in the 1.1.5A test cycle!). So far, the changes between 1.1.5A and 1.1.5R have been really minimal and initial feedback on 1.1.5A has been very positive. Those who simply can't wait, have at it! And please, if you DO have problems, report them to me **ASAP** so that I have a chance to fix them for 1.1.5R. Regards, Jordan
