Excellent!

> Official updates on BSware 9.0:
> -------------------------------
>      161772  cdda2wav-2.0-11.9.1.i386.rpm
>      395385  cdrecord-2.0-11.9.1.i386.rpm
>      157896  cdrecord-devel-2.0-11.9.1.i386.rpm

These fix a really annoying bug where burning a CD can lock your CD
drive until you reboot.   I've actually encountered this one.

This one fixes a really significant security hole.

Awesome, thanks.  There RPMs alone are worth pulling down the ISO.

>       29344  xvattr-1.3-ogle1.i386.rpm

Can you provide any examples of where the xvattr utility is useful?  (It
doesn't have a real web page, but it sounds interesting).
