Hi,

I heard from several friends who did FTP installs of 5.0-RELEASE, that
the installer was unable to install the ports collection. So I checked
the various FTP sites, and to my amazement I couldn't find the
ports.tgz file on any of them!

See for example:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-RELEASE/ports/
  ftp://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-RELEASE/ports/

or any other FreeBSD mirror sites. It is also the case for other
architectures.

However, on the 5.0-RELEASE i386 install CD I have here, there is such
a ports directory, with a ports.tgz file (and accompanying
CHECKSUM.MD5 and install.sh files).

Is this a deliberate omission on the FTP servers?

Cheers,
- --
