I finally got sick of the entirely bindist/floppy syncronization problem and updated the bindist in-place. I know it violates some of the rules, but this is ALPHA testing and I need to emphasise ease of test over racial purity!:-) > I tried again, with ftp.freebsd.org, but there were too many anonymous > users.

Hmmmm. I see no immediate reason why not. Wouldn't others find it cumbersome, however? Most folks would be moving between their primary and alternate sites, all anon ftp anyway, right? Perhaps I can ask it _only_ if it was set before, though that sort of dicates that you set it explicitly at least once. I'm trying to figure out a way of preventing it from popping up in people's faces when they don't want it. Ideas? Jordan
