Not yet announced.

+

The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability + of FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE. At this time 6.4-RELEASE is expected to be the + last of the 6-STABLE releases. Some of the highlights:

+ + + +

For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the + online release notes and errata list, available at:

+ + + +

For more information about FreeBSD release engineering activities, + please see:

+ +

http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/

+ +

The FreeBSD Security Team intends to support 6.4-RELEASE until + November 30th, 2010.

+ +

Availability

+ +

FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64 + architectures. The builds for the alpha architecture have not completed + yet and will be announced later. FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE can be installed + from bootable ISO images or over the network; the required files can be + downloaded via FTP or BitTorrent as described in the sections below. + While some of the smaller FTP mirrors may not carry all architectures, + they will all generally contain the more common ones, such as i386 and + amd64.

+ +

MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO images are included at the + bottom of this message.

+ +

The contents of the ISO images provided as part of the release has changed + for most of the architectures. Using the i386 architecture as an example, + there are ISO images named "bootonly", "disc1", "disc2", "disc3", "docs", + and "dvd1". The "bootonly" image is suitable for booting a machine to do + a network based installation using FTP or NFS. The "disc1", "disc2", and + "disc3" images are CDROM-sized (700MB media) and are used to do a full + installation that includes a basic set of packages and does not require + network access to an FTP or NFS server during the installation. In addition, + "disc1" supports booting into a "live CD-based filesystem" and system rescue + mode. The "docs" image has all of the documentation for all supported + languages. The "dvd1" image is DVD-sized and includes everything that is + on the CDROM discs. So "dvd1" can be used to do a full installation that + includes a basic set of packages, it has all of the documentation for all + supported languages, and it can be used for booting into a "live CD-based + filesystem" and system rescue mode. Most people will find that "disc1", + "disc2" and "disc3" are all that are needed if their machine does not have + a DVD-capable drive. For people with machines that do have a DVD-capable + drive "dvd1" should be all that is required. If you intend to install ports + from source instead of using the pre-built packages included with the release + only "disc1" is needed.

+ +

FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM from several + vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 6.4-based + products is:

+ + + + +

BitTorrent

+ +

6.4-RELEASE ISOs are available via BitTorrent. A collection of torrent + files to download the images is available at:

+ +

http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080

+ +

FTP

+ +

At the time of this announcement the following FTP sites have + FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE available.

+ + + +

However before trying these sites you may want to check your regional + mirror(s) first by going to:

+ +

ftp://ftp.<yourdomain>.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD

+ +

Any additional mirror sites will be labeled ftp2, + ftp3 and so on.

+ +

More information about FreeBSD mirror sites can be found at:

+ +

http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

+ +

For instructions on installing FreeBSD, please see Chapter 2 of The + FreeBSD Handbook. It provides a complete installation walk-through + for users new to FreeBSD, and can be found online at:

+ +

http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html

+ +

FreeBSD Update

+ +

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 + systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 6.3-RELEASE, + 6.4-BETA, 6.4-RC1, or 6.4-RC2 can upgrade as follows:

+ +

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 6.4-RELEASE

+ +

During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging + some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically performed + merging was done correctly.

+ +

# freebsd-update install

+ +

The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing.

+ +

# shutdown -r now

+ +

After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new + userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again:

+ +

# freebsd-update install

+

# shutdown -r now

+ +

Note that FreeBSD Update stores downloaded upgrades in /var/db/freebsd-update, + so at least 400MB should be free in /var before running freebsd-update; if + the /var partition is too small, the -d option to freebsd-update can be used + to indicate that the upgrades should be stored in a different directory.

+ +
