Unfortunately, there are no good mirrors there that I know about. You can try to download 6.0-RC1 image from our central ftp server: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/6.0/6.0-RC1-i386-disc1.is= o But if the box is directly connected to the Internet (even via slow/lossy link), you'd better cvsup to the latest source tree and rebuild world/kernel. The update from 5.4 to 6.0 is painless. 6.0 has read-only support for ReiserFS partitions, there's an effort to provide XFS support also, but it's far from complete yet. For most applications, UFS2 is as good (fast, reliable, feature-rich) as it gets. You can learn how to upgrade your system to 6.0 by reading this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html post to this list in case of trouble, but choose a new subj line. Good luck, Andrew P.
