It's a "fresh install". I just downloaded the floppies last night and did an initial minimal install. I did the minimal install to make sure I could get through our firewall. Now that I have FreeBSD (4.5) running I want to get the whole ball of wax. But each time I select "Distributions" from sysinstall I get: No such directory: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/4.5- RELEASE Please check the url and try again. As I mentioned, I am unable to find anything like a "i386" directory under the "snapshots" directory at the site. thanks, lane (holcombe) > Is this a "fresh install" (started w/ floppy) or from an existing > installation?
