Given that there was no ETA for when (or > even if) ftp.freesoftware.com would come back up, actually delaying Maybe a long shot: isn't there a way to have a temporary master ftp server setup at (say) Yahoo that the official mirrors (and *only* the official mirrors) can grab their stuff from? Currently there are a lot of dogs fighting for a single bone and (at least to me) this does not appear to be too productive. Related question: is there an alpha 4.3R .iso as well? I have not been able to check for obvious reasons. x86 version I have here, and I'm helping out people locally by cutting them a CD. tnx -- | / o / / _ Arnhem, The Netherlands email: wilko@freebsd.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte http://www.freebsd.org http://www.nlfug.nl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
