## Images
-DragonFly images are 'live', meaning these images on whatever media will boot your system and let you log in as `root` (no password). You can use this feature to check for hardware compatibility and play with DragonFly a little before actually installing it on your hard drive. The CD includes an installer that can be run at the console. To activate the installer, boot and login as `installer`.

-If you use a GUI DVD, you can login as `root` and start a GUI with *startx*. Note that there is no GUI release for 3.6. You will need to install Xorg directly. If you use a USB .img file, it needs to be copied to a USB key directly. Use *dd* on unix-like systems, or [a similar program](http://www.chrysocome.net/dd) on Windows. You could also try [Image Writer for Windows](http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/).

Here is a list of [[**worldwide mirrors**|/mirrors]] offering DragonFly ISO images. *Please use an appropriate mirror for best results!*
-### Legacy Releases
+## Release Notes
-To limit disk space requirements all mirrors carry only the ISO images/packages of the current and the last release. ISO images of older releases are available [here](http://island.quantumachine.net/archive/).
+For more details, read the 6.4 [[release notes|release64]], for upgrade steps and file checksums.
## Obtaining source via git
-Since DragonFly 2.1 the source repository is maintained with git instead of CVS. To clone the sources using git:
+To clone the sources using git:
# cd /usr
# make src-create
-This will fetch all sources for you from a fast mirror. If the git-clone command is not available update your Makefile to a recent version. If you do not have git installed, install it from `pkgsrc/devel/scmgit`. See [development(7)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=development§ion=ANY") for further instructions how to work with the repository.

If you wish to check out the source repository manually, you can use
# git clone git://git.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git dragonfly
-All release CDs and images also contain a base git repo for pkgsrc and a populated /usr/pkg containing the git tools and may be used to bootstrap pkgsrc support in your system if you desire.
+All release CDs and images also have pkg installed for immediate download of packaged third-party software.
