>Release:        FreeBSD 2.0.5-ALPHA i386
>Environment:

	i386DX/40 on local Ethernet with FreeBSD distribution on another
	machine on local net

>Description:

	Cannot specify a local machine to ftp files from.  The installation
	process *requires* that the host containing the distribution support
	anonymous ftp, and I do not want anonymous ftp enabled on the
	system with the distribution files.

	This is a change of functionality from 2.0-RELEASE, where a
	non-anonymous site was able to be specified by entering a site
	name without a URL

>How-To-Repeat:

	Attempt to load from a machine on a local net without anon ftp

>Fix:
	
	Correct installation system to allow loading of distribution files
	from a non-anonymous ftp site, like was done in 2.0-RELEASE
