Hi Everyone,

I have tested the 8/26 nnightly build,
http://download.java.net/glassfish/v3/nightly/glassfish-snapshot-v3-prelude-08_26_2008.zip
on both Mac and WinXP and it is working fine in bringing up the console.

Remember that the admin port has changed to 4848 and no context root is
needed, so the URL to access console is now
   
http://localhost:4848/

OnLine Help comes up. Although there is a bug in the CommonTask page
where it can't find the context-sensitive help page and so it shows a
404, but allows you to navigate to any other help topic. Most other
page has the context sensitive help page correctly. If you see
otherwise, please file a bug.

Thanks for you help in ensuring a quality product.
Anissa.
