I know this has been asked (and replied to) before, I apologize for 
asking again...

FTP install fails at the point if trying to get the floppies/root.flp, 
I turned on the extra debugging info in the options screen and it shows 
everything working fine including logging in, CWD to 2.1.0-RELEASE, 
changing to TYPE I, sending RETR floppies/root.flp, the ftp server 
responds by opening binary connection for floppies/root.flp and then 
this is what happens:

DEBUG: Notify: Loading root image from:
ftp://192.168.0.1/FreeBSD
/stand/cpio: cannot remove current : Is a directory

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data-format violated
/stand/cpio: premature end of file

and that is where I am at...

Thanks for any help you may have in getting me past this!
