Hmmm... I looked for that (g++, actually, though it is the same as you
say) and was sure I saw the same version numbers. My mistake.

Alpha, sparc, and powerpc aren't being released and will be removed.

My point was that if you didn't match exactly it wouldn't matter.

The date is correct. However, there is supposed to be at least 24 hours
of complete stability before release in order for mirrors and CD makers
to get caught up.

I did an m68k install last night before I went home, which is how xfree
made it in. The release is now only 9 hours away so I can't do any more
