I gave up trying to install 9.0 when I tried it a year or so ago. This time I had the idea of trying sysinstall, which appeared to work (what a relief) until the package retrieval when it claimed that neither my memstick image had the packages it wanted nor any of the mirrors. This was puzzling to say the least, as the files clearly were there. Eventually I came across an explanation: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2012-January/065681.html While the "obvious" solution is to delete sysinstall from existence, I would propose that instead it be adapted to use bsdinstall packages as bsdinstall has plenty of issues and, judging by them existing since 9.0 and the list of open bug reports here, not much maintenance. >How-To-Repeat: Try to install 9.1 >Fix: Teach sysinstall xz and new package layout? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
