PCBSD7 Alpha ISO for testing is out...

Everybody,

Here's the latest PCBSD7 alpha ISO for testing:

ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/alpha-isos/i386/PCBSD7-Alpha-x86-05242008.iso

MD5 (PCBSD7-Alpha-x86-05242008.iso
) = c20aaf83cc1c92ca7dfcaf8f0bbdeea2

This ISO has a few new features which will require some testing to
ensure proper functionality. First is the improved keyboard selection
tool in the installer GUI. Now you are able to select your layout, model
and variant from all the available choices in Xorg. Your choice will be
immediately enabled, and then should be transfered to your installed
system as well.

Next is the ability to choose your filesystem type for the install. So
far I've gotten working UFS, UFS + Softupdates and UFS + Journaling.
Please test these options out, and let us know of any problems you
encounter. There is an option for ZFS as well, but it is not yet
implemented, so please don't bother trying it just yet. The next alpha
will hopefully have it fully implemented.

Thanks!
