I have only my own experience nad can say that I have never done a nfs install, but have done lots of ftp installs and occasionally a cd install. So should I commit the code and let us tune what go on which floppy later or should I just sit back and enjoy the ride? I'm not worried too much because the snaps on ftp.za.freebsd.org is working again. :-) ... Yes they are non-standard (they use my patch) but at least they exist, while without the patch there are no snaps.
