When I try a /stand/sysinstall, the system can't find a suitable ftp server. I get a warning of the kind: Warning: Can't find the `4.6-RC' distribution on this FTP server. That's on ftp.freebsd.org and a few others. I've tried changing the Release Name to 'any' as sysinstall suggests but this doesn't work either. What's the rationale behind where these distributions are kept and how long they're kept around. Any docs exist to explain this?
