Known Issues
-None at this time.
+
+
+ - The 4.7-RC1 snapshots were built without packages due to some
+ problems (which only recently came to light) in the bzip2 package
+ support. The RE team is currently evaluating solutions; one
+ alternative is to go back to gzip packages for subsequent RC
+ snapshots, as well as the release.
+
+ - Partially as a result of the above package problems, the ports
+ tree on the 4.7-RC1/i386 ISO image is not exactly the same as the
+ 4.7-RC1/i386 FTP directory. Both will be eventually updated for
+ subsequent RC snapshots and the final release.
+
+ - Loading kernel modules on 4.7-RC1/alpha is broken. A fix has
+ been committed and will be present in 4.7-RC2/alpha.
