There's an announcement about it at http://www.freebsd.org/newsflash.html and i think 2.1.6-release was removed or whatever so you can't get it. However 2.1.7 is available. This is the bug fixed version and is supposed to be just the same as 2.1.6. I think you're gonna have to download the boot disk again though :-( but it'll be worth it. Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au Hello all. I am attempting to install freebsd via ftp. I got everything set up but when it logs into the ftp server (I have used many different servers to try to get this to work) i get an error message saying "cannot cd to 2.1.6-RELEASE". I have tried putting "none" in the options for the release but that does not work either. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks Please mail response to me and not the list because I am not on the list..Thanks
