I an trying to install 2.2.1, and after many problems doing a full
intial installation of everything I wanted, and having it fail every
time, Idecided to do just an OS install.  It worked fine.  Then I
started to try to install various applications such as apache web server
w3c wed server, and many others.  I had failures on all of them. 
Finally I brought out a sniffer to look at the packets that FreeBSD was
asking for, and each time it was asking for a file that was not as it
had spelled.

Example

ftp did a RETR packages/All/apache-1.2b7.tgz
the real file is apache-1.tgz

also

ftp did a RETR packages/All/w3c-httpd-30A.tgz
the real file is w3c-http.tgz

This seems to be the case with all the non-base OS apps I try to
install.

Any help?  My head is getting real sore, and this brick wall is not
moving.

Thanks

Dave
