I had (am having) problems with FTP installation too. I took the
approach of grabbing the disk images from the ftp server and making
floppies from them. I used the gzip'd "newer" floppy images, dated
12/1 for what that's worth.
Anyway, I encountered a number of errors on the install scripts which
to patch. Sorry I don't have diff's handy at this point, but can make
them if pressed. But the errors I've seen are:
bininst:
- missing "\" at end of line in do_last_config() before "user" line.
netinst.sh:
- missing "\" at end of "le0" line in network_setup_ether().
- use of $answer instead of ${ANSWER} in network_basic_setup() else
clause.
- use of $interface instead of ${INTERFACE} when sticking hostname
in /etc/hostname.$interface
- initialization of $INTERFACE to "lo0" (in network_set_defaults)
which makes the while loop in network_setup() never get a chance
to run.
It seems like the floppy images at cdrom.com should be updated with
functional install scripts.
Now I think I'm stuck with 10Base2 versus AUI problems, which I need
to figure out.
The installation stuff sure *looks* nice. Should be great when the
rough edges are smoothed out.
