Hi.  I would like to run the a recent FreeBSD 3.0 snapshot.  I am
confused by the choices on ftp.freebsd.org, however.  Off of
/pub/FreeBSD/ there appear to be two SNAP directories: 3.0-971010-SNAP
and 3.0-971012.  If I go into the 10th directory, the README.TXT and
other text files refer to this directory as 2.2.5-971010-BETA.  I am
unable to even go into the 12th directory.  (I get "No such file or
directory" even though I see the directory from an 'ls').

Also, I have found lots of recent SNAPs on current.freebsd.org.  I was
under the impression that snapshots were not taken this often.

To recap, I'd like to run a 3.0 SNAP but am confused by what I found
on ftp.freebsd.org and overwhelmed by the choices on
current.freebsd.org.

Thanks,
David
