After some head scratching I tried the master site, ftp.freebsd.org, and hey presto it all installed fine. Having had a quick look now, I think I can see what is breaking it, this link works fine on the master site, but won't on the mirrors: XF86332 -> ../../../pub/XFree86/3.3.2/binaries/FreeBSD-2.2.x Also, sysinstall would be more helpful if it informed you that it can't find the set, rather than making it look like it wasn't even trying to find it. -Paul- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
