MikeOS 4.7 beta 2 available for testing

[Michael Saunders]

Hi everyone,

Here's a second beta release for MikeOS 4.7:

http://mikeos.sourceforge.net/mikeos-4.7.0b2.zip

MD5 = d5c3c7353a12348b876ef95b5d6b0c6c

(I'm not sure why HTTPS isn't working on SourceForge at the moment, at
least for our project, but I'll look into it at some point. Or does
anyone have any ideas?)

Anyway, this includes all the changes in beta 1, plus some updates
from Walt that I didn't roll into that first beta, listed below.

As always, testing is appreciated (especially of the build scripts!)
and if there are no blockers, we can release as 4.7 final in a week or
two.

Cheers,
Mike
