This absolutely should be mentioned anywhere and I think ftp7.de.freebsd.org should then be removed in /stand/sysinstall and on the boot floppies or do you think that mixing this release with the original one will cause no problems? I ran into problems, when I first time installed FreeBSD (I am new to FBSD, but used to different Unixes for years). I think the reason could be that I changed the ftp-server several times, also using ftp7.de.freebsd.org (being used to download rates of 100kB/s from within the university when connecting to leo.org alias ftp4.de.freebsd.org, I thought only 4kB/s were too slow for a whole installation over ftp). I have to apologize, that I first tended to blame FBSD for this; the real reason was, that the central server of the university was updated to Solaris 8 in the same night and there were only small backup servers running.
