Just what is the pre-release status of 2.1.1 at the moment?
Another posting indicated that a 6x86 option was only added to the
latest SNAP of 2.2,and as 2.1.1 will be out first,yet has no SNAPs
in circulation,I am wondering what will be covered and what will
not?The freebsd.org web page has feature lists on 2.2 SNAPs,
including the fact that SNAP-CDROM subscribers won't get the
latest one(a good reason not to subscribe until the following
one comes out),but we hear very little about the next Release
version,which regular-CDROM subscribers will presumably be
getting in the next month or two if the frequency holds up.

What will 2.1.1 offer??
