Interesting. It booted nicely to a root prompt, but how do I get a 
GUI??? I tried 'startx', but was told the command was unknown. Am I 
mistaken in expecting a GUI in the live version?

Yeah excellent. Upgrade was smooth as always. Upgrade works much 
better on DragonFly than on all the Linux distributions
I know (not many :-)).

DragonFly 1.12 Released!

2008-02-26 Thread Matthew Dillon
Hello everyone!  We are happy to say that the 1.12 release is now
available!

http://www.dragonflybsd.org/

This release is primarily a maintainance update.  A lot of work has been
done all over the kernel and userland.  There are no new big-ticket items
though we have pushed the MP lock further into the kernel.

The 2.0 release is scheduled for mid-year.

Of the current big-ticket item work, the new HAMMER filesystem is almost
to the alpha stage of development and is expected to be production ready
by the mid-year 2.0 release.
