I think FTP installation from non-FreeBSD mirror site can be done, if the directory structure of non-FreeBSD mirror site is same as mirror site.. Though, I hadn't make out via FTP installation...I still believe my own anonymous FTP site( ftp://venus.chungnam.ac.kr/pub/FreeBSD/ like Sam's) can do same as the FreeBSD mirror site.. $)C At 05:44 ?@@| 97-04-16 -0700, The Devil Himself wrote: >On Wed, 16 Apr 1997, Sam Hepworth wrote: > >> I want to install FreeBSD via FTP. >> >> I have an AIX machine on which I mount the FreeBSD-CD.
