I just tried to install 5.2-CURRENT-20040804-SESNAP snapshot using FTP installation with floppies, but I failed. First of all, the sysinstall have only one FTP URL of snapshots - the JP one. Secondly, it isn't obvious what manual URL should be used. So I've tried following URLs: ftp://snapshots.se.freebsd.org ftp://snapshots.se.freebsd.org/snapshots ftp://snapshots.se.freebsd.org/snapshots/i386 ftp://snapshots.se.freebsd.org/snapshots/i386/5.2-CURRENT-20040804-SESNAP No one did work and I always got the same error message about that sysinstall can't find the '5.2-CURRENT' distribution on the FTP server. Should it look for the '5.2-CURRENT-20040804-SESNAP' distribution instead? It looks like a build bug. When I looked at a sniffer dump I saw that sysinstall tried to find the '5.2-CURRENT' directory, not the '5.2-CURRENT-20040804-SESNAP' one. Can you fix it? IMHO adding the exact FTP URL into the sysinstall as the second snapshots source would be a good thing. Other alternative is writing on your site an instruction about what should be entered as the manual URL during the FTP installation. According to the sniffer dump it is probably the ftp://snapshots.se.freebsd.org/snapshots/i386 URL for i386. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
