Well, I'm still in Taiwan at the moment, my personal mirror of the
950726 snapshot is here with me, Jim Mercer (who is in Toronto) has my
live filesystem 2.0.5 CD-ROM and Vince Yin (who is in Ottawa) has my
2.0.5 install CD-ROM. So I can't be of much help right now. :(
However, Bob, ftp.io.org appears to have a more-or-less complete
mirror of the Walnut Creek FreeBSD archive (e-mail apollo@io.org to
confirm, he takes care of it). Start looking in /pub/systems/FreeBSD.
The 2.1.0-950726-SNAP directory contains the latest release.
I think I'll offer a service at IO where any user can come down
with their PC in tow, we'll drop in an Ethernet card and help you do
the installation via NFS for a small fee. That would be neat.
