:Not sure if the snapshot contained the changes, though...  IIRC the
:January snapshot is not released yet?

I'll take a stab at the ia64 ISO at

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/200701/

tomorrow when da download finishes ... I'm also downloading da Nov
2006 i386/amd64 snapshots and plug in a separate NIC to update to
-CURRENT just in case da ia64 ISO dont work.

Thanks .
