Things are looking really great! Couple things went wrong, however: 1) This is a small one. The ftp directory structure is so deep that it doesn't fit on one line of a displayed dialog if an error comes up on failure of fetching a distribution. Nothing happens but you get kind of an ugly wraparound effect. 2) This is a larger one. When trying to grab my XFree86 server (ATI Mach32-based), no matter what ftp location I chose, it couldn't grab it. I manually ftp'd to the server, grabbed it, stuck it in a local directory and told sysinstall that it was on my local system. Still couldn't find it. Maybe a misspelled filename in sysinstall? Sysinstall calls the server Ma3 (short for XF311Ma3.tgz) while it is stored on the ftp server as XF311Ma32.tgz. Renaming my local copy to XF311Ma3.tgz didn't solve the problem, however. I did not try to grab any other servers. Other than that, job well done! Cheers, -Wes
