It looks kind of silly in some mail readers, and it is generally frowned upon by many 'old timers' of email :-) Where did you look for the 'image' downloads? I just connected to ftp.FreeBSD.org using Firefox, and the listing of the directory at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386 contains: | Index of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386 | -------------------------------------------------------- | | Up to higher level directory | Directory: 2.2.9-RELEASE 10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 4.11 moved to ftp-archive 10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 5.0-CURRENT 10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 5.3 has moved to ftp-archive 10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 5.4 moved to ftp-archive 10/25/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 5.5-RELEASE 10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 6.0 moved to ftp-archive 10/25/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 6.1-RELEASE 10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 6.2-RELEASE 01/13/07 00:00:00 | Directory: ISO-IMAGES 10/24/06 00:00:00 | File: README.TXT 1 KB 11/23/05 00:00:00 The "ISO-IMAGES" directory contains ISO images for 6.1 and a few more releases... What seems to be the problem with finding non-6.1 releases? - Giorgos
