OpenBSD 5.7 CD 2 Incorrectly Pressed
OpenBSD project leader Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) outlined some issues
with the CD plant, which led to an incorrectly-finished CD 2, some of
which were, unfortunately, shipped prior to the issue being found.
Sadly, CD2 of the OpenBSD 5.7 shipped in a broken fashion due to errors at the manufacturing plant. Two mistakes were made. In the rush after the first error, this error was not caught in time. Many people have received (or will soon receive) their package with this broken disc. Orders which have not yet shipped are being held back... because...
A repaired disc is on the way from the plant.
This will be shipped out to everyone, and will be inserted into the orders not yet shipped
