Sorry! > > -- > Matthias Andree The text above is right, except it got truticated so here is the rest, hopefull you can make up the rest (i formated this below by hand so it don't get cut) ---------------------------- so i figured out that bnefore it trunticated the text (maximuim monitor capacity). Now i wanted to confirm this in the #freebsd channel on irc.linux.com (open projects) it seams no one was aware, of this and they try to help me debug this. So accrording to them i did check the Release in Options menu and it sais Release name: 4.6-RELEASE. I hope you can fix this soon because i am not able to download the whole CD and burn it due to a lack of a burner. Thanks ---------------------------- Hopefully this can provie more insight, i do belive i have 4.6-RELEASE disk based on that above and from the people from #freebsd (on Open Projects). I am redownloading the disks atm. but the main mirror is painfully slow, so i'll let you know how that tunrs out. ---------------------------- UPDATE: I downloaded the floppies of the main server, and they still point to snapshot.
