Using sysinstall to install packages.
Does anyone know why sysinstall complains, Warning: Can't find the `5.1-CURRENT' distribution on this FTP server. You may need to visit a different server for the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what's available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to any). There are packages on my regional ftp mirror that I should be able to install from, but why doesn't the tag '5.1-CURRENT' get changed to something that works from anything other than a release install. Anyone know?
