I found that the install program had "2.0.5-ALPHA" instead of "2.0.5-RELEASE" as the directory name, and so it would fail. I wasn't sure if I had the most recent floppy, though... The way to fix this is to choose "other location" and type in your own URL: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE ... -Archie
