For the initial install? Yes -- you're right: there's no obvious
'install via HTTP'
For the initial install? Yes -- you're right: there's no obvious
'install via HTTP' option. Trying to install via HTTP proxy and saying
ftp.freebsd.org:80 when prompted seems like it should work to me, but I
haven't verified that.
Next time I install I'll try this - I was just wondering if
instead of ftp through an http proxy is it possible to get a pure http mirror?
