I (finally) got the new HD I've been waiting for, and wanted to do a fresh install of freebsd-4 on it. I got the floppies from the 4.0-release directory (probably off ftp.freebsd.org), and used them to boot up. Initially I thought I'd use ftp5.freebsd.org, thinking that was "closer" to me. The install was not able to find most of the things it was trying to install (like "Can't find /bin, do you want to try again?"). Interestingly enough, it WAS able to find XFree86, so it installed that. It may have also installed ports, but in any case the result certainly wasn't going to go anywhere. I just changed my options back to use ftp.freebsd.org, and the install seems to be going along fine. Doing a quick comparison of the two sites, I don't see why 4.0-RELEASE would work coming from one and not the other. This is not an urgent problem or anything, but I thought it was odd enough that I'd mention it. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
