Apologies if this isn't the right list; I am trying to browse freefall's /etc/aliases with 50% packet loss so jumped on the first list that sounded appropriate. Since I was experiencing 50% packet loss to wcarchive, I decided that it might be worthwhile exploring my options. Naturally, I tried ftp2.freebsd.org next, but its /pub/FreeBSD/2.2-RELEASE/floppies directory is empty. Ok, no problem. Try ftp3.freebsd.org, and its /pub/FreeBSD is a broken link; "cd /pub/FreeBSD" says "no such file or directory". ftp4.freebsd.org at least has the floppies, and I haven't gotten to try to install yet because of ethernet problems so I don't know if the rest of ftp4 is ok. ftp5.freebsd.org and ftp6.freebsd.org have boot.flp and fixit.flp but not the extra boot-pao.flp . I dunno if that means anything. I wrote a program to check the presence of ports distfiles; should we use it on the FTP mirrors too? Bill
