>Description:

	The URLs hardcoded into /stand/sysinstall for the ftp*.uk.freebsd.org
	mirror sites are wrong: they all have the wrong directories.
	This was a real nuisance for me when I installed.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Run /stand/sysinstall and try to do anything using any of the
	UK mirrors.

>Fix:

Grrrr.  3 UK mirrors, each with an entirely different and incompatible 
layout from the other and only one following FreeBSD canon. 
There's something very British about that. :-)
