The directory is (as is documented) relative to the home directory of the non-anon user. Also, i think sysinstall looks into a subdirectory identical to the release name relative to the given URL (so you can just say ``.../pub/FreeBSD/'' as the default, and it will automatic- ally pick up the right release from the official mirrors), unless you specify the release name in the options menu as "none". If you turn on debugging, you can easily watch the looked up files on the second screen. It's not all that magic... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
