RC1 packages

Quick question:

If I go ahead and install 5.1-RC1 now from ISO CDROM,
will I have access to packages that are newer than the
ones that come with FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE? Or will they
be the same packages as 5.0-RELEASE? Or will I not have
access to packages at all? (That was always the case
when I would CVSUP and buildworld on our servers)

I ask because I need at LEAST XFree86 4.2.x for my laptop
display to work properly with my ATI Radeon Mobility LY
on my IBM Thinkpad A30p. And the last time I checked, I
think 5.0-RELEASE only offered XFree86 4.1.x. And I'm not
fond of compiling my x server by hand.

Thanks!
