REQUEST: Could one of the *.freebsd.org webmasters or listserv
admins please post the ld-elf.so.1 file from 4.7-RELEASE?  It could
go up (officially) to
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.7-RELEASE/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1

     <<<fantasy world pops!>>>

I only have the first CD-R and do not have time to download the 2nd
CD-R's ISO just for the one file... 2:-)
