When getting one of the snapshot releases from releng4.freebsd.org, you need to specify the snapshot date string as well in the options screen,=20 not just 4.0-STABLE... (i.e., 4.0-20000602-STABLE...) What I usually do is just go to: ftp://releng4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/[newest snapshot], then go to the floppies directory and get the floppies for that snapshot. It will already have the correct setting in the options screen for that snapshot. :-) -Chris Tracy (Telerama Internet -/- Network Administrator -/- www.telerama.com) On Fri, 2 Jun 2000, Morten Seeberg wrote: > I didn=B4t look there manually (which someone pointed out to me), but I d= id > try choosing it on the installation floppies, and It just said that it > couldnt go there.
