I have successfully installed OpenBSD 6.6 release and would like to give the Current Snapshots a try. I went to a mirror, and to:
Index of /pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/ I saw install66.fs (probably for usb memstick) and install66.iso (surely for a cd/dvd) at ~450Mb. I picked the install66.fs, wrote it to a usb thumbdrive, and it starts the install. When i get into the install it asks where are the file sets? Humm, maybe it gets these online and it tries to do this but no luck. It was late last night, and I checked to see if it had written anything to my disk, which it had not, and went to bed. This evening I'm looking a bit deeper at the snapshot directory and I suspect I need to provide the install with base66.tzg at ~239Mb. My question now is after downloading the base, do I need to un-tar it, and how to I provide it to the install? I wrote the install66.fs to the usb with the dd command. Not clear to me how to either manually copy the base file set to the usb, or maybe leave it on an accessible directory on my machine. Any help would be appreciated. Clay Daniels
