Weekly snapshots now for i386

Weekly snapshots are also available for i386 machines now:

ftp://ftp.desktopbsd.net/pub/DesktopBSD/Snapshots/

Like AMD64 snapshots, they are built every Saturday from the latest DesktopBSD Tools, the most recent FreeBSD 6-STABLE sources and an up-to-date ports collection. Additionally, the i386 snapshots include the Nvidia video driver.

There is a known problem in the latest ISO (20071106): OpenOffice.org won’t start because it requires libstdc++.so.6 which is included in GCC 4.2, but FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE on which this snapshot is based only comes with GCC 3.4.2. To fix this, install lang/gcc42 (upcoming snapshots will include a package).

As usual, please let us know if you have suggestions or discover bugs in a snapshot.
