Hi! Last friday I upgraded my ALIX system from 6.0 to 6.2 using the PXE
boot method. In previous years I used an internal FTP server to perform
the upgrade, but for some reason this is not supported any more since a
couple of releases. I mounted and published the ISO image using a
raspberrypi and NGINX (HTTP method). During the install process I hit
the following error 'unable to get a verified list of distribution
sets'(*). I couldn't find much help from google but after some time I
figured out that the install was looking for a file named index.txt,
that is not included in the ISO.
Maybe some of this information can be included to the install guide for
those of us doing a local HTTP upgrade, and also it would be great to
have the index.txt file included in the ISO.
For the record, the kernel relinking (Relinking to create unique
kernel...) took about 14 minutes in my ALIX board and it takes about 2.5
minutes the library reordering during the boot process.
Just my .02 cents.

(*): server: localhost, request: "GET /OpenBSD/i386/index.txt HTTP/1.0"
I know about this, but its not crystal clear (at least for me):

Note: If you intend to provide the sets over HTTP(s), place siteXX.tgz
in your source directory and include it in your index.txt. It will then
be an option at install time.
Best regards.
