I thought I'd share with you some feedback from the 2.2.1R install that I did this past weekend. Maybe these issues have been addressed in later versions. 1) When installing from scratch, the partitions should be mounted async. This will speed installs, especially of /usr/ports. 2) When ftp fails for some reason, it would be nice if there was a retry mechanism so that you didn't have to start over from scratch. A friend was installing from a machine on a network that was connected to the internet via a firewall that lost its cookies from time to time. Other than these issues, the install(s) went great! Kudos to all who have worked to make this possible and easy. Warner
