Seeing that this is a link on the mirrors I've checked, that means that
the mirror when set up needs to not only mirror pub/FreeBSD/ but also the
relevant parts of pub/XFree86, or else the link points nowhere.  That is,
you've got to nab outside of the FreeBSD source, which, if you quickly
set up a mirror, you're likely to forget, or not know to do...

I just finished a net install of 2.2.6 and everything went smoothly
except none of the XFree86 distribution was installed! I chose the
X-Developer install option and when it was all said and done there
wasn't even a /usr/X11R6 directory. I went back and tried to install
XFree86 from the list of specific distributions and it installed the
compat21 dist but nothing else! I have tried this last step a few times.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a work around for it?

Thanks,

Bill

That is strange. The two servers I tried were ftp.freebsd.org and
ftp2.freebsd.org. Oh well, I manually went and got the dist.
