>Release: FreeBSD 2.0-BUILT-19950603 i386
>Environment:
Installation environment, with media type set to ftp.
>Description:
On the screen where you must type in an ftp:// style url that points to
a FreeBSD distribution other than one of the ones listed, it isn't clear where
this url should point. I.E. Should it point to the equivalent of /pub/FreeBSD/
or should it point to the equivalent of /pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE/ ?? Using
the equivalent of /pub/FreeBSD causes a "timeout" error.
>How-To-Repeat:
Specify the toplevel FreeBSD distribution directory instead of
toplevel/2.0.5-RELEASE
>Fix:
Documentation for the Other ftp site feature should be included on the
screen where it is typed in, so that it is clear where the url should point.
