I have two questions about 2.0.5:

1 - I'm running 2.0R.  I understand 2.0.5 has the "slice" code; does this
mean I can't use my current 2.0R partitions/fstab entries?  Backing up to
300 floppies does not appeal to me...  On the other arm, I'm planning to buy
a second hard drive.

2 - I encountered one each of libc and kernel bugs under 2.0R and sent pointers
in to bugs@freebsd.org.  Is there a Changes file or similar that I can ftp
to see if fixes made it into 2.0.5, so I don't have to pull the full release
down and read the source?

Thanks.
