I looked on ftp.freebsd.org and it looks like both versions are there but the cdrom only contains 7.1_1. It would seem like we would want the linux_base-7.1_1 installed regardless of installation media. As a side note, I was able to cajole sysinstall to do an ftp install using PPPoE. The approach is to choose the post-install configuration and configure the ethernet device first, then the ppp device and bring it up before starting the "standard" install. There are a couple of twists and turns involved so I'll probably put together a little document on how this is done. Perhaps once someone sees that, a better method can be devised.
