Subject: 5.0-RC1 Now Available
Thanks to everyone who has helped focus on getting 5.0-CURRENT (now 5.0-RC) into shape the upcoming release. We're one milestone closer today with the immediate availability of the first release candidate
for the i386, alpha, sparc64, and ia64 platforms. ISO images and FTP installation directories are available now from the FTP sites. Not all of the mirrors have all of the files yet, but they are at least available from :
ftp2.freebsd.org
ftp.tw.freebsd.org
ftp7.de.FreeBSD.org
Please try your local mirror first. The i386 ISO image includes a full package set. Unfortunately, kde can not be installed from
sysinstall, but kdebase is on the ISO and can be installed from the command line. ISOs for the other architectures do not contain packages. The pc98 architecture release will be available shortly. Please continue to check our 5.0-RELEASE todo list :

and keep us apprised of any outstanding issues.
Thanks!
