No prob. Today I'm attempting to pull in a few more packages via /stand/sysinstall, and after the 'logging in to ftp@ftp.freebsd.org' it comes back and tells me 'Unable to get packages/INDEX file from selected media. This may be because the packages collection is not available at on the distribution media you've chosen (most likely an FTP site without the packages collection mirrored)...' I suspect something has changed with your ftp site sometime since last night, and I half-way expect things to clear up shortly. But after a few hours of re-attempts, I decided to send this report. It looks like I'm having success from ftp2.freebsd.org (mirror.neosoft.com). >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to get packages listing, using /stand/sysinstall on a 3.0-RELEASE installation, utilizing the ftp.freebsd.org media source. >Fix: Possibly some link on the ftp site got mucked. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
