FreeBSD 9.0-BETA2 or 3?

2011-09-27 Thread Thomas Mueller
I see a thread, "FreeBSD 9-Beta3 on X300 problems." and now am curious about what is the current beta? I looked at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ and found a BETA3 but only for some platforms not including i386 and amd64. Maybe the burncd problem, not working on SATA, is a temporar

Upgrade from source to RC1: problems with /etc : lost users and dbus
