Oh, there are many changes, but the snapshots for August were suspended
for i386 and amd64 due to a cpio vs. GNU cpio problem.  Do not bother
trying the snapshots from July either, as they will fail during
installation (cpio problems; the bin/base/etc. archives are broken
and will spit out millions of errors on expansion).

The only place right now which has newer snapshots (September), which
should work fine:
