The distribution for FreeBSD-2.2 at
x.physics.usyd.edu.au:/pub/XFree86/3.3/binaries/FreeBSD-2.2 was built on
June 3 but I didn't notice an announcement until around June 8. When you
download a binary distribution, you'll need files for your specific version
of FreeBSD, e.g. 3.3/binaries/FreeBSD-2.2/, and also the common files in
area 3.3/binaries/common. FreeBSD 2.1.7 and 3.0 are also provided for.
A list of FTP MIRROR SITES follows.
