feature of packages now so that no version info is embedded.
o Add a default X desktop menu offering afterstep, enlightenment, KDE, GNOME
and Windowmaker desktops instead of the boring twm(1) based one if the
user so chooses. This will require a little testing.
1. Enable use of serial console for installation by using autoboot
instead of boot.
2. Beep when the mfs root floppy needs to be placed in the fdd.
3. Beep again when mfs root image is loaded and the loader waits
for ten seconds before it starts booting for any input. (Serial
console users can say " boot -h" here.)
Networks Tigon 1 and Tigon 2 chipsets. There are a _lot_ of OEM'ed
gigabit ethernet adapters out there which use the Alteon chipset so
this driver covers a fair amount of hardware. I know that it works with
the Alteon AceNIC, 3Com 3c985 and Netgear GA620, however it should also
work with the DEC/Compaq EtherWORKS 1000, Silicon Graphics Gigabit
ethernet board, NEC Gigabit Ethernet board and maybe even the IBM and
and Sun boards. The Netgear board is the cheapest (~$350US) but still
yields fairly good performance.
Support is provided for jumbo frames with all adapters (just set the
MTU to something larger than 1500 bytes), as well as hardware multicast
filtering and vlan tagging (in conjunction with the vlan support in
-current, which I should merge into -stable soon). There are some hooks
for checksum offload support, but they're turned off for now since
FreeBSD doesn't have an officially sanctioned way to support checksum
offloading (yet).
I have not added the 'device ti0' entry to GENERIC since the driver
with all the firmware compiled in is quite large, and it doesn't really
fit into the category of generic hardware.
to now detect that CD you just remembered to put in the drive or that
pccard NIC that you've inserted (anybody can put pccardd in an mfsroot image
now you know.. :)

Clean up X selection code a bit.
Choose proper architecture subdirectories on mirror sites now that we've
gone fully to the new multi-arch directory scheme.
