It's been a good while since I've done a FBSD install, and I assumed things had gotten more polished since 4.x.. I'm trying to install the 200703 snapshot of 6.2-STABLE, and no matter what server I select, no matter what variant I try of various length paths specified in a custom URL to a server that I *know* has the files (ftp.freebsd.org), I get the following message: Warning: Can't find the '6.2-STABLE-200703' distribution on this FTP server. You may need to visit a different server for the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options menu and to (sic) set the release name to explicitly match what's available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to "any"). Would you like to select another FTP server? I am booting from the 200703 snapshot i386 bootdisk-only ISO image. TIA, Phil -- Philip J.
