I'm pretty sure there is no public FTP copy of FreeBSD 2.2.8 except maybe on one or two (or three) sites. I have a copy of the FreeBSD 2.2.6, 3.[01234], and 4.0 CDs should you happen to be in the area (Detroit, Michigan). Unfortunately, however, I do not have CD#1 for the 2.2.6 set, which basically means no install is possible on that version. :-( -- Will Andrews GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
