Hi Brett,
Please do not include *MOST* of your message text in the subject and
then just a seemingly 'out of place' continuation of that text in the
email body. It looks kind of silly in some mail readers, and it is
generally frowned upon by many 'old timers' of email :-)
Where did you look for the 'image' downloads?
I just connected to ftp.FreeBSD.org using Firefox, and the listing of
the directory at:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386
contains:
| Index of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386

The "ISO-IMAGES" directory contains ISO images for 6.1 and a few more
releases...
What seems to be the problem with finding non-6.1 releases?
