The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the + availability of FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE. This is the second release + from the stable/9 branch, which improves on the stability of + FreeBSD 9.0 and introduces some new features. Some of the + highlights:

+ + + +

Please note that precompiled third-party packages are not + available for 9.1-RELEASE at the time of release. See the Availability section below for further + details.

+ +

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:

+ + + +

Availability

+ +

FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, + powerpc64, and sparc64 architectures.

+ +

FreeBSD 9.1 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over + the network. Some architectures also support installing from a + USB memory stick. 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 amd64 + and i386.

+ +

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

+ +

The purpose of the images provided as part of the release are + as follows:

+ +
+
dvd1
+ +

This contains everything necessary to install the base + FreeBSD operating system, a collection of pre-built packages + aimed at getting a graphical workstation up and running. It + also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. + This should be all you need if you can burn and use + DVD-sized media.

+ +
disc1
+ +

This contains the base FreeBSD operating system. It also + supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. There + are no pre-built packages.

+ +
bootonly
+ +

This supports booting a machine using the CDROM drive but + does not contain the support for installing FreeBSD from the + CD itself. You would need to perform a network based + install (e.g. from an FTP server) after booting from the + CD.

+ +
memstick
+ +

This can be written to an USB memory stick (flash drive) + and used to do an install on machines capable of booting off + USB drives. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based + rescue mode. There are no pre-built packages.

+ +

As one example of how to use the memstick image, assuming + the USB drive appears as /dev/da0 on your machine something + like this should work:

+ + 
# dd if=FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync
+ +

Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=) correct.

+
+
+ +

Due to the security incident reported here:

+ +

http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/2012-compromise.html

+ +

only the small third-party package set on the DVD image is + available at this time for users who require pre-built packages + (just GNOME and KDE windowing systems). The FreeBSD Project's + package building infrastructure is undergoing a complete review + and redesign. At this time we can not commit to a date the full + release package set will become available. A separate + announcement will be made when that becomes available. If you + wish to install 9.1-RELEASE now you can build your own packages + using portsnap(8) to obtain an up to date ports tree and then + build the packages. If you require pre-built packages you + should wait for the announcement of the full release package set + becoming available.

+ +

FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from + several vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD + 9.1-based products is:

+ + + +

FTP

+ +

At the time of this announcement the following FTP sites have + FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE available.

+ + + +

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

+ + + +

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

+ +

More information about FreeBSD mirror sites can be found at:

+ + + +

For instructions on installing FreeBSD or updating an existing + machine to 9.1-RELEASE please see:

+ + + +

Support

+ +

9.1-RELEASE is an extended support releases and will be + supported by the FreeBSD Security Team until it's End-of-Life + (EoL) date of December 31st 2014. As 9.1-RELEASE got delayed, + the EoL of 9.0-RELEASE has been pushed to March 31st 2013 to + allow people sufficient time to upgrade. As always all EoL dates + can be found at http://security.FreeBSD.org/.

+ + + +

Other Projects Based on FreeBSD

+ +

There are many "third party" Projects based on FreeBSD. The + Projects range from re-packaging FreeBSD into a more "novice + friendly" distribution to making FreeBSD available on Amazon's + EC2 infrastructure. For more information about these Third + Party Projects see:

+ + + +

Acknowledgments

+ +

Many companies donated equipment, network access, or man-hours + to support the release engineering activities for FreeBSD 9.1 + including The FreeBSD Foundation, Yahoo!, NetApp, Internet + Systems Consortium, Sentex Communications, New York Internet, + Juniper Networks, and iXsystems.
