Followup-To: comp.os.386bsd.questions Date: 14 Mar 1995 23:17:13 GMT Organization: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd., Akasaka, Tokyo. Lines: 23 Distribution: world Message-ID: <JUN.95Mar15081713@fox.fax.iwa.fujixerox.co.jp> NNTP-Posting-Host: fox.fax.iwa.fujixerox.co.jp Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hello, I'm about to finally upgrade my machine to FreeBSD-2.0. I've downloaded all the necessary binaries so that the transfer afterwards will be easier. But one thing keeps botching me; I once heard that the installer automatically attempts to connect to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/ if one chooses to download the package. I don't really need that (ntm I can't.) Is there a way one can ftp to an alternative server, rather than the default during an installation? Any help will be appreciated, so thanks in advance.
