<html> Hi All, <br> <br> So maybe I'm missing something here.<br> <br> I was downloading 4.2 bin files from <a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/" eudora="autourl">ftp.freebsd.org</a> , when I came upon bin.ab, which turned out to be not the file that the installation program wanted, but a directory in which none of the links worked.<br> (FTP directory /pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.2-RELEASE/bin/bin.ab)<br> <br> So I gave up, and seeing that bin.ab was actually a file in version 4.1.1, I tried installing that version instead, until I came upon another directory masquerading as a file, bin.bi. This directory had one working link, which was pub, but it just led to an identical directory. <h2><b>FTP directory /pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1.1-RELEASE/bin/bin.bi/pub/ at <a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/" eudora="autourl">ftp.freebsd.</a><a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/" eudora="autourl">org</a></b></h2>(Which also appears to be identical to the bin.ab directory in 4.2, by the way, and all 3 of which look like the root directory.)<br> <br> OK, I just tried a German mirror, and this isn't a problem there, so it's probably a glitch in your new system (and so I'm not crazy.)<br> <br> While I'm at it, if anyone cares, the version info. in <a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/README.TXT" eudora="autourl">ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/README.</a><a href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/README.TXT" eudora="autourl">TXT</a> is out of date.<br> <br> Take care ya all,<br> George<br> </html> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
