It lists the sites by the versions they carry. VERY useful. A list of SNAP sites is also given as is a list of site by country. http://www.itworks.com.au/~gavin/FBSDsites.php3 And yes, it contains a reference to 2.1.7.1: http://www.itworks.com.au/~gavin/FBSDsites.php3?release=2.1.7.1-RELEASE The above site is not the one you are using, and it's in Australia, but perhaps you will get better performance. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
