I select the primary site for download (ftp.freebsd.org ) but the problem is it tries to look for freebsd snapshots at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/freebsd/snapshots/i386/4.5RELEASE This url is invalid as there is no current snapshot available there (in fact, I get same problem using any other mirror site also). Problem is whatever URL I type, it automatically appends pub/freebsd/snapshots/i386/4.5RELEASE to that and then the complete url no longer remains valid. Is there a way I can specify the absolute url rather than have sysinstall automatically append something. Or if you know of a mirror where even after appending whatever sysinstall is appending, things work fine, let me know. Thx in advance for the help.
