Hi, Yesterday evening I downloaded the install42.iso, cd42.iso and all *.tgz packages from the i386 snapshots directory on the ftp.openbsd.org website. All files had a timestamp of Sept. 24. I then ran them through MD5 to make sure they matched the expected checksum.
This morning I performed two OpenBSD installs on two VMware machines; one using the install42.iso image and the included *.tgz packages, and one using cd42.iso and the individual packages (which I made available via a local HTTP server). Once this was done I compared the dmesg output of both installs and noticed that the install42.iso machine's kernel date is Sept. 13 while the cd42.iso machine's kernel date is Sept. 24. A quick check of the MD5s of the *.tgz packages in the install42.iso file show that they are different from the packages on the FTP site? So I'm just wondering: in the i386 snaphots directory, do the *.tgz packages in the install42.iso file typically "lag" behind the individual packages available on the FTP site? Is the way to get the most recent binaries (from -CURRENT) of OpenBSD to use individual packages and *not* the install42.iso? Thanks, -Martin
