Hi all, I actually had trouble with September, too, but I didn't try terribly hard. As I understand it, only a couple of ftp servers have the actual distribution data for the snapshots, with current.freebsd.org (aliased to snapshots.jp.freebsd.org) being canonical; I assume that snapshots.se.freebsd.org would also be likely to have them, from its name. However, as I went to install amd64 last night, I was getting "failed to log in" messages from current.freebsd.org, and I think from snapshots.se.freebsd.org as well (though my memory is not 100% certain). Certainly I failed to install a system by this method, and resorted to downloading disc 1 and doing a standard install from CD. I am moderately inclined to believe that I'm seeing server-side problems, but I'm not sure. Are there other servers that would have the distributions for the monthly snapshots? Thanks, Ben Kaduk
