My guess would be that this is the packages that fits on the first iso. Maybe only the iso was copied to ftp.freebsd.org and then the packages extracted from it? I checked the CHECKSUM.MD5 file on bento and that has 4577 entries. BTW. ftp.internat.freebsd.org aka ftp.za.freebsd.org have the iso and the release bits and also about 400M of packages. We only have a 1.5M link into the internet though. :-/ John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@icomtek.csir.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
