Re: If the mirror sites (all four I've tried now from all over the world) have the FreeBSD 6.1 downloads contain the FreeBSD4.11 image, how is one supposed to download V6.1?

It looks kind of silly in some mail readers, and it is generally frowned upon by many 'old timers' of email :-) Where did you look for the 'image' downloads? I just connected to ftp.FreeBSD.org using Firefox, and the listing of the directory at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386 contains: | Index of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386 | | | Up to higher level directory | Directory: 2.2.9-RELEASE10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 4.11 moved to ftp-archive10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 5.0-CURRENT 10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 5.3 has moved to ftp-archive 10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 5.4 moved to ftp-archive 10/25/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 5.5-RELEASE 10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 6.0 moved to ftp-archive 10/25/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 6.1-RELEASE 10/24/06 00:00:00 | Directory: 6.2-RELEASE 01/13/07 00:00:00 | Directory: ISO-IMAGES 10/24/06 00:00:00 | File: README.TXT 1 KB 11/23/05 00:00:00 The ISO-IMAGES directory contains ISO images for 6.1 and a few more releases... What seems to be the problem with finding non-6.1 releases? - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Because the software I'm attempting to use is supported only on FreeBSD 6.1. And what I'm talking about is when you download the FreeBSD6.1 ISO images, the installed system (according to uname) is 4.11. This is almost certainly pilot error.
