Shell Direct installation from freebsd.org

Just making a note of how to extract base.txz and kernel.txz from freebsd.org in case I have difficulty finding it in future..
Code:
fetch -o - ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/11.1-RELEASE/base.txz | tar xSf -
fetch -o - ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/11.1-RELEASE/kernel.txz | tar xSf -
This thanks to swegen from this Thread 64370

I found it quite handy and didn't know you could do this.
