What I am wondering is why the release iso have been renamed. The path 
and file name was to long before and now with 8.1 some fool added the 
word Freebsd to it. What on earth for? How many times does the word 
freebsd have to be in the path/name? Wish somebody would supervise the 
worker bees so they don't go changing thing on their own.
