Version #8-current 20060113 of MirBSD
Release Notes: Ports were fixed and expanded, small bugs in the infrastructure and installer were fixed, and the mtree database was synced with reality. MS patents on msdosfs are no longer infringed when the "USA" compile time option is used. Documentation fixes and updates were made. Binary compatibility with pre-#8 MirOS binaries was removed. The license was changed because it is a mix of OSD/DFSG compliant licences (plus GNU FDL), but not all have OSI approval.
