The rest of the time it would get through The connection between ftp.freebsd.org and the rest of the Internet has been VERY flakey as of late - no idea why. I think your problems there are just bad timing! Several people who had problems with ftp.freebsd.org went on to try the "Secondary" site with flying colors. >delete net default >DEBUG: Command 'route delete default' returns status of 0 That problem I fixed, and it's with the distribution loop code. More floppies should be in 2.0.5-ALPHA/UPDATES tonite, and should fix this (and other) problems! Sorry for the instability, but helping me find and fix these problems is what ALPHA is all about! Thanks for your (and everyone else's) patience! Jordan
